　2. Strawberries Arnaud $1.4 million

　　草莓拼盘，140万美元(约952万元)

　　As we’ve all heard, things are not always what they seem, and this saying applies to the Strawberries Arnaud perfectly. You’ll find a one-of-a-kind 4.7-carat pink diamond among a bowl of strawberries topped with cream and mint. Not only do you get delicious strawberries and a nice ring, the dessert comes with white-glove servers who provide wine out of a wine set worth $24,850, and of course there’s live jazz music。

　　眼见并不为实，这句话用在这款草莓拼盘上再合适不过了。这款甜品是在一盆草莓上放点奶油和薄荷叶，但真正的主角是一颗4.7克拉的粉红色钻戒！ 吃的时候由一位戴着白手套的侍者端上一瓶价值24850美元的红酒，爵士乐队还会在旁伴奏。

　3. Platinum Cake $130,000

　　铂金蛋糕，130000美元(88.4万元)

　　Created by a Japanese pastry chef named Nobue Ikara, the Platinum Cake rings in at the tiny price of $130,000, and is any platinum lover’s dream.

　　这款铂金蛋糕是由日本糕点大师Nobue Ikara设计制作的，售价仅为130,000美元，这一款甜品可以说是圆了铂金狂热者的梦。蛋糕主体上覆盖的是纯白的糖霜，除此之外的装饰物全部为铂金，包括铂金小链条、铂金项链、铂金别针、铂金垂饰，就连其他的一些小陪衬物都是铂金的，而这些铂金装饰都可能食用的。

　4. Frozen Haute Chocolate $25,000

　　高级巧克力冻，25000(约17万元)美元

　　The Frozen Haute Chocolate is definitely a drink that no one will ever forget.

　5. The Fortress Stilt Fisherman Indulgence $14,500

　　城堡的立钓享乐，14500美元(约9.8万元)

　　They say food presentation is very important, and when it comes to the Fortress Stilt Fisherman Indulgence, there is no doubt. In Sri Lanka, stilt fishing has become a very popular tradition that has been around for decades. The dessert pays special tribute to this pastime by portraying a stilt fishing scene made of delicious ingredients, including chocolate, exoticfruit, and Irish cream. It portrays a fisherman, carved out of chocolate, hanging onto the stilt. Underneath the fisherman is a perfectly placed 80 carat aquamarine. Those who order the dessert get to keep the jewel, but as of now, no one has forked out the money。

　　食物的摆盘是非常重要的，这款城堡的立钓享乐就很好地体现了这一点。在斯里兰卡，立钓是一种流行多年的传统钓鱼方式。这款甜品就是用食物来展现这一立钓场面。甜品由巧克力、异域水果和爱尔兰冰淇淋制成。用巧克力雕绘的渔夫垂坐在高跷上垂钓，下面放着的是一个80克拉的海蓝宝石。点这道甜品的顾客在享用完甜品之后还可以把这颗宝石带回家，不过目前为止还没有人来品尝。

　　6. Macaroons Haute Couture $7,414

　　蛋白杏仁饼干，7414美元(约5万元)

　　Macaroons aren’t too hard to find in today’s world. They are simply twomeringue puffs that are held together with butter cream. They are most popular in France, and you can usually find them for a reasonable price for such a tasty dessert. However, French pastry chef, Pierre Herme, has cooked up a new and more expensive type of macaroons. The price tag at $7,414 definitely makes these macaroons not as attractive to everyone as the original recipe. Herme says that he offers a large variety of ingredients that have elevated the costs. A customer is able to choose ingredients such as balsamic vinegar, red wine, peanut butter, and anything else you can think of putting between your two meringue puffs。

　　现在，蛋白杏仁饼干还是比较常见的，不就是两块糕饼，中间夹上奶油一类的东西，这种点心在法国很受欢迎，好吃又便宜。但是法国的糕饼大师Pierre Herme却制作出了一个新品种的蛋白杏仁饼，价格贵得出奇，标价7,414美元，因此很多人望而却步。Herme解释说，他的这种蛋白杏仁饼有多种口味，包括甜醋、红葡萄酒、花生酱等等，你能想到的，几乎都有，因此才开出了如此的高价。

　7. The Sultan’s Golden Cake $1,000

　　苏丹黄金蛋糕，1000美元(6800元)

The cake is made of figs, pears, apricot, and quince that are then put into a Jamaican Rum and soaked for two years. To finish, the cake is topped with French Polynesia vanilla bean, caramel, black truffles, and a 24 carat gold leaf. It is said that the cake takes about 72-hours to make. However, the cake is usually only made per request: usually for a wedding, celebration, or for a sultan himself。

　　如果你想尝尝金块是什么味道，这款黄金蛋糕就能满足你的要求。位于伊斯坦布尔的Ciragan Palace Kempinski酒店推出了这种售价1000美元的黄金蛋糕，由牙买加朗姆酒腌渍达两年的无花果、梨子和杏，加上由法属波利尼西亚进口的香草豆、焦糖、松露制成。外面还裹着一层24克拉的金叶。据说，这款蛋糕要用72个小时才能制成，而且只在特别场合比如婚礼、庆典或者是为苏丹本人才会制作。

　8. The Brownie Extraordinaire $1,000

　　特制布朗尼，1000美元(约6800元)

　　The Brownie Extraordinaire is sold in Atlantic City, New Jersey. But, this isn’t just any brownie. It’s made out of dark chocolate that is then covered with Italian hazelnuts and served with a scoop of ice cream. Along with the sweet dessert, customers are also given a very rare and highly expensive port wine, Quinta do Novel Nicional, from Portugal. Although a brownie may not seem like a very lavish dessert, adding the rare glass of wine most definitely spices things up。

　　这款特制布朗尼是由新泽西州亚特兰大城推出的。这可不是一款普通的布朗尼蛋糕。黑巧克力外包裹着意大利榛果，再配以一勺冰淇淋。这还不是最特别的，最特别的是顾客可以品尝到来自葡萄牙诺瓦园的葡萄酒，这种葡萄酒非常昂贵而且稀有。虽然，布朗尼蛋糕似乎并不奢华，但配上了这名酒，就价值不菲了。
