Chef Masami Mijamoto of the department store "Tachasimaya" in the Japanese city of Osaka prepared a Christmas cake decorated with one hundred South-African blue and yellow diamonds, with a 50 carat total weight and priced at almost $900,000 US Dollars.
It won't be possible to taste the diamond cake earlier than December 25th, when Catholics, Protestants and some orthodox will mark the Christmas holiday. Even if someone will buy the cake earlier, the department store has decided to hold this miracle of culinary jewelry art in one of the store windows for the entire holiday season to keep-up an atmosphere of fun and magic among shoppers.
Except for the diamonds, the pie is quite edible. It has a height of 35 cm, stands on a square chocolate base, and is made of cake biscuit, a heavy cream and glaze. In the center is a small Christmas tree dressed with candies, fruits and nuts.
According to the author: “first of all women should notice a unique combination of the refined sweets and the sparkle of diamonds”. It took six months to create the design and one month to prepare the cake.
