The sundae costs $3,333.33 and consists of a banana split made with syrups from three rare dessert wines, served with an ice cream spoon from the 1850s. If you give them a day’s notice, they’ll even have a cellist play while you eat it (1/3 of the price is being donated to a local land trust).
If its not expensive enough, then perhaps the $60,000 “World’s More Expensive Most Expensive Ice Cream Sundae” will pique your interest.
For $60,000 you can travel to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, where the Three Twins Ice Cream founder will handchurn a batch of ice cream using the glacial ice found at the summit.
The cost includes first class airfare to Tanzania, five-star accommodations, a guided climb, all the ice cream you can eat, and an organic T-shirt.
It should also be noted that a portion of the purchase will go to an African environmental nonprofit.

Swedish designers Front created Randomly Crystallised which is a collection of vases and lights for the Swarovski Crystal Palace, a high-end crystal and glass store.
The pieces were made by combining cut crystals with hard blown liquid crystal.
“Front has experimented with crystal as a material,” the design company says of itself. “They have let the precision-cut crystals merge with hot liquid crystal to create a method where all the objects get an individual expression.”

The case is in black titanium and sports a protective grill across the sapphire crystal that is meant to offer additional protection to the crystal.
What makes this piece interesting though is the introduction of an anchor in silicon, marking a major milestone for the manufacture and a wholly unanticipated one at that.
