Sometimes when you hear of things like dresses costing $500,000 or a cake costing $80,000, you wonder what the hell they could be made of to be worth that much, amirite?

Edible gold leaf

by Anonymous 12 years ago

This. I remember reading about a brownie a few years back.. Anyway, I believe it was sold in New York and cost $1,000. It had bits of gold dust in it and a waiter or waitress would stand next to you as you are it and spray wine into your mouth to help "bring out the full flavor". Crap, couldn't they leave the wine sprayer on the table and save the poor person the humiliation of having to wait around some rich, lazy jackass and spray flippin wine into his face hole?

True. I saw a story once about this burger at a restaurant that was made with like, the rarest meat in the world or something. And it had flakes of fine gold sprinkled all over it. Kinda BS to me, but hey. :P

Who the hell gets up and thinks "Gee, I'm really craving some shredded gold right now" ?

That brownie is actually in New Jersey. And the wine you get sprayed in your mouth makes up something like $755 of the total cost because it's like some amazing aged wine or some shit. But whatever doesn't get sprayed in your mouth you get to keep afterwards.

Does the waiter or waitress follow you home to keep spraying more into your mouth upon request until it's gone?!

Hahahaha! I don't think so! That would be a great deal though, I'd rather pay $1000 for a personal wine spray servant than a brownie.

The cost of the cake is understandable if it has real jewelry on it or a brooch of some sort. My mom makes cakes for a living and a gets more expensive for the amount of fondant, gumpaste, or marzipan that is needed for the design of the cake. Such as, if you were to get a topsy-turvy cake with completely edible people on top holding hands while sitting on an edible bench and have the cake look like a sunset on the beach with flowers (also edible) sticking out everywhere, it gets expensive. Now imagine if they have a $200 brooch or any type of real jewelry to add to it. That would increase it by a lot. Also, the baker needs to make money off it, so they have to make it more expensive. AND, depending on who made it, it adds on. Like if my mom were to make you that cake, lets just say it'd be around $400 - $500 with the Brooch, but if it were made by the Cake Boss, it's be like $700- $1000. Now the dress is what I find a bit unreasonable.

The same reasons you defended the cake with apply to the dress: the material, the designer, and the custom fit. Personally I find both to be overpriced, but if you saw reason in the cake why not the dress too?

I don't know much about dresses. But I guess you are right. Both depends on basically the same things.

Wedding dresses can get expensive if you go full out; especially if they are made by a really famous designer. For example I saw a dress, I think it was on tv, that was completely covered in crystal and sold for around 50,000.

You pay for the fact that you can say, " I just spent $500,000 on a dress. Oh, you only spent $1000? What a stinge."
