When I worked as a pastry chef, I was once asked to put an engagement ring in a dessert.  It was on top of a chocolate bombe (half-circle) that was then encased in spun sugar.  Tooootally fancy pants… and the perfect dessert to use for a romantic proposal.  Of course, as it left the kitchen, I had to follow it and peek at the couple and see the proposal.  Thank goodness she said yes! 

Check out some of these ridiculous desserts I found on the Forbes Traveller website.  I’ll take this one with the 4 carat diamond, please!  :) Here’s a link to the slideshow.
