In the course of writing the sundae book, I have discovered many interesting ice cream facts. My favourite by far so far is that the record for the Worlds Most Expensive Sundae according to the Guinness Book of World Records is made by Serendipity 3 in New York and costs the princely sum of $1,000! My brother kindly promised me yesterday that if he ever gets rich he will take me for one!!! For your $1,000 you have 5 scopps of Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream made with Madagascar vanilla, decorated with gold leaf, the most expensive chocolate known to man, Amedei Porceleana, rare Chuao chocolate, candied fruits from Paris, gold sugar almonds, truffles, marzipan cherries, grand passion caviar (I am so not sure about this bit..fish and ice cream - yuk!), all served in a crystal goblet with an 18k golden spoon. My immediate thought was whether for the $1,000 you got to take the glass and spoon home with you. Sadly nothing in this league will be appearing in my book, although gold leaf does make a brief appearance! Serendipity 3 also do other nice and affordable Sundaes so I will definitely be visiting on my next trip to New York!

I can't wait to have you here Sis!!!!
Yum!!! We do eat with our eyes, don't we!!
Hi Hannah, I am writing to ask for some guidance... Am off to Bali for a wedding in July and am staying for a week prior to the wedding, would like to do some cooking classes so can you give me any advice? Any suggestions for things to see and do as well? Accommodation is sorted but activities are not (besides wedding). I have 9 days there to fill! Thanks heaps Vida x x x
Hey Hannah, this is where the wedding is held and where I will be staying as well... my friend has hired the entire place out for us all... http://www.villabeji.com/ I have written to them ask about classes, I believe they have a chef etc. but I would like to spend some time outside the complex too... I will look back over your post and see what I can organise. Thanks heaps Vida x x
Have made contact with your hotel and hopefully will hear back soon. I will book a few classes there and definately go to the markets with the chef at our hotel. I am really looking forward to the wedding but especially to catching up with my girlfriend. She lives in New York and I only see her ever two years or so and it's just never enough! Vida x
Hi Hannah, wow $1,000 for a Sundae!! I'll wait to buy your book and I'm sure there will be lots of fine treats in store for us all :0)
