Let Them Eat Cupcakes

The opulence of Dubai is no secret, and the city is continually pushing the boundaries to bring something new and exciting. From luxury motorbikes to designer phones, their latest venture is a dessert so decadent, customers have to order it 48 hours in advance.

The Golden Phoenix cupcake features Italian cocoa, wrapped in a 23-carat gold sheet, and it certainly makes a statement. Launched in 2004 at The Dubai Mall, these cupcakes are the perfect treat for those with a taste for the finer things in life. So, if you’re in the area and have a bit of extra cash, why not indulge in a $1K cupcake?
