Golden Opulence Sundae
"Made from the finest Tahitian Vanilla ice cream infused with Madagascar Vanilla to intensify the flavour, the decadent dessert is then wrapped in edible gold leaf.
Drizzled with the world's most expensive chocolate, Amedei Porcelana, and topped with chunks of rarest Venezuelan Chuao chocolate, it is no wonder that Executive Chef Joe Calderone calls it 'iconic' " (Wellman)
Cost: $1,000
Edible Gold Leaf
"Since medieval times, edible gold leaf in the form of flakes and dust has been used to embellish and decorate gourmet food. The Elizabethans created sumptuous banquets by adding edible gold to their table on fruits such as oranges, grapes, dates and figs. The Japanese have been adding edible gold to foods and even to their sake for centuries." (History of Edible Gold Leaf)
