If you've got both expensive taste and a sweet tooth then you may want to add at a least a few, if not all, of the world's most expensive desserts to your wish list of things to try. The list topper (and therefore THE most expensive dessert in the world) is The Fortress Aquamarine from Wine3 at The Fortress in Galle, Sri Lanka. The focus of the sweet treat is an 80-carat aquamarine gem resting on a specially shaped sliver of fine chocolate representative of the company's logo. It's a gorgeous looking dessert, but not many have any idea if it tastes equally as good since priced at $14,500 the restaurant has yet to sell their first one.

Frankly I find this somewhat stupid. Anyone can add jewelery to food and make it super expensive.

In my opinion the most expensive foods should simply reflect the ingredients and the value of the creation itself and not an external non food related item thrown with it.

Otherwise anyone can sell a pint of Hagen Daz with diamond necklace and call it the most expensive...

My sentiments exactly. Following the same line of thinking, the world's most expensive beer might well be a miller lite served in a take-home holy grail.

I'd rather reward the chef for culinary creativity than for nonedible accoutrements...
