Red velvet is one of the more popular flavors at Cupcakes Gourmet, a Philadelphia-based cupcake store. So popular that the bakery is releasing a new version of the treat just in time for Valentine's Day.
The Sparkling Red Velvet Cupcake is now available for $55,000.
While some luxe desserts call for edible gold leaf, white truffles or another expensive ingredient that restaurants use to create astronomically priced food items, Cupcakes Gourmet merely sticks an 8 carat engagement ring from Warwick Jewelers in the frosting.
It suits the store's slogan, 'Love Tastes Like This.'"
