Most Expensive Cupcakes in the World

4. Food Network UK’s Luxe Gold Cupcake

When the Food Network set out to make this cupcake, they knew the investment of time and money had to be worth it, so they gave the finished product a whopping price tag of $1,227.70. What buyers will receive for that cost: peach and champagne jam filling, a dollop of buttercream made out of Chateau Yqeum, all wrapped in a 24 carat gold leaf to top it off.
