Gold Bites in the Oasis

When Dubai goes culinary, it’s not just about taste; it’s a statement. Forget motorcycles and cell phones; even cakes get the Midas touch in this oasis of extravagance! Meet the Golden Phoenix Cupcake, a luscious treat not for the faint of wallet. Sprinkled with Italian cocoa and wrapped in a shimmering 23-carat sheet, this $1K delight speaks fluent ‘opulence.’

Launched at The Dubai Mall in 2004, the Golden Phoenix is not your grab-and-go cupcake. Planning a bite? You’ll need to place an order 48 hours in advance. After all, for the well-heeled palates of the city, a dash of luxury is just another day at the dessert table.
