'WE PRODUCED THE GRAND OPULENCE TO CELEBRATE OUR 50th ANNIVERSARY IN 2005', SAID JOE CALDERONE, A SPOKESMAN FOR SERENDIPITY. 'WE WANTED SOMETHING TO MATCH OUT GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY, SO BASED OUR SUNDAE AROUND THAT PRECIOUS METAL. EACH ONE IS MADE WITH THREE SCOOPS OF THE RICHEST TAHITIAN VANILLA ICE CREAM, WHICH WE INFUSE WITH MADAGASCAR VANILLA PODS. THE SUNDAE IS HELD WITHIN A BACCARAT HARCOURT CRYSTAL GOBLET AND LINED WITH 23 CARAT EDIBLE GOLD LEAF. WE DRIZZLE IN THE WORLD'S RAREST AND EXPENSIVE CHOCOLATE AMEDEI PORCELEANA, WHICH IS HARVESTED FROM VENEZUELA AND COVERED IN CHUNKS OF CHUAO CHOCOLATE.

THE DESSERT IS EATEN WITH AN 18 CARAT GOLDEN SPOON AND TOPPED WITH A SPECIALLY DESIGNED SUGAR FLOWER.' NEEDING TWO DAYS NOTICE TO ORDER SOME OF THE INGREDIENTS AS THE CANDIED FRUIT FROM FRANCE, SERENDIPITY SAYS THAT SINCE ITS UNVEILING IN 2005 THEY HAVE SOLD 200 GRAND OPULENCE SUNDAES. HOWEVER, SERENDIPITY HAS ANOTHER STRATOSPHERIC DESSERT ON OFFER, THE FRRROZEN HAUTE CHOCOLATE AND IS OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED BY GUINNESS AS THE WORLD'S MOST EXPENSIVE DESSERT. 'WE TAKE A BACCARAT HARCOURT GOBLET FOR THE HAUTE CHOCOLATE, BUT IN THIS CASE THERE IS A 18 CARAT GOLD AND WHITE DIAMOND BRACELET ATTACHED TO THE NECK.
