A luxurious dessert goes on sale for £15,730! Anyone wants the world most expensive puddings?

These sumptuous desserts are not just any desserts; they are world record-breaking desserts.

The £630 Grand Opulence Sundae and the mind-boggling £15,730 Frrrozen Haute Chocolate are on offer at New York's famous Serendipity 3 restaurant and according to Guinness are the most expensive puddings in the world.

Created by one of Serendipity's specialist chefs to order at your table, the Grand Opulence Sundae is available at 48 hours notice and the Frrrozen Haute Chocolate at a whopping two weeks.

Each contains 24 carat edible Swiss gold and is lined with 23 carat edible gold leaf and maintains the restaurants fame for producing world renowned and expensive desserts.

'We produced the Grand Opulence (below) to celebrate our 50th anniversary in 2005,' said Joe Calderone, 48, a spokesperson for Serendipity.

'We wanted something to match out golden anniversary, so based our sundae around that precious metal.

'Each one is made with three scoops of the richest Tahitian vanilla ice cream, which we infuse with Madagascar vanilla pods.

'The sundae is held within a baccarat Harcourt crystal goblet and lined with 23 carat edible gold leaf.

'We drizzle in the world's rarest and expensive chocolate Amedei Porceleana, which is harvested from Venezuela and covered in chunks of Chuao chocolate.

'We add candied fruits from Paris and the sundae is topped with Grand Passion Caviar, which is salt free American caviar infused with passion fruit, orange and Armagnac.

'The dessert is eaten with an 18 carat golden spoon and topped with a specially designed sugar flower.'

Needing two days notice to order some of the ingredients such as the candied fruit from France, Serendipity says that since its unveiling in 2005 they have sold 200 Grand Opulence Sundaes.

'It is something that boyfriends show off to the girlfriends with and even though it looks calorific, at Serendipity, we never count the calories,' said Joe.

The Frrrozen Haute Chocolate is officially recognised by Guinness as the world's most expensive dessert and is grand in every way.

'We take a baccarat Harcourt crystal goblet for the Haute Chocolate, but in this case there is a 18 carat gold and white diamond bracelet attached to the neck ,' said Joe.

'Like the Opulence, the goblet is laced with 23 carat edible gold and we add our famous Serendipity frozen hot chocolate mix that contains 14 rare and secret cocoas.

'In addition to that we add 14 of the world rarest and most expensive cocoas that come from Africa and South America.

'We then add milk to the mix, add ice cubes and place the 28 different cocoas in the blender for 30 seconds.

'We then add whipped cream and shavings from the world's most expensive truffle, the La Madeline au Truffle, which costs £1,573 ($2,500) a pound.

'On top of that goes five grams of 24 carat edible gold and the dessert is served with a £8,800 ($14,000) jewel encrusted spoon, that the customer can take home along with their diamond encrusted bracelet.'

To produce one of these puddings would require two weeks notice to Serendipity and is probably one of the reasons why it has never actually been sold.

World sixth LARGEST river discovered...at the bottom of the sea!

Immense rivers that dwarf the Thames have been found at the bottom of the ocean by British scientists.

Like those on land, the submarine waterways carve out channels, tributaries, flood plains, rapids and even waterfalls.

One river, discovered underneath the Black Sea, is up to 115ft deep in places and more than half a mile wide.

If found on land, scientists estimate the so-far unnamed waterway  would be the world's sixth largest river in terms of the amount of water flowing through it.

The flow – carrying highly salty water and sediment - is 350 times greater than the Thames, according to a Leeds University team who used a robotic submarine to scan the seabed near Turkey.

The undersea river - the only active one to have been found so far - stems from salty water spilling through the Bosphorus Strait from the Mediterranean into the Black Sea, where the water has a lower salt content.

This causes the dense water from the Mediterranean to flow like a river along the sea bed, carving a channel and deep banks.

The discovery could help explain how life manages to survive in the deep ocean far out to sea away from the nutrient rich waters that are found close to land, as the rivers carry sediment and nutrients with them.

Dr Dan Parsons, who led a team from the university's school of earth and environment, told the Sunday Telegraph: ‘The water in the channels is denser than the surrounding seawater because it has higher salinity and is carrying so much sediment.

‘It flows down the sea shelf and out into the abyssal plain much like a river on land.

The abyssal plains of our oceans are like the deserts of the marine world, but these channels can deliver nutrients and ingredients needed for life out over these deserts.

‘This means they could be vitally important, like arteries providing life to the deep ocean.

‘The key difference we found from terrestrial rivers was that as the flow goes round the bend, the water spirals in the opposite way to rivers on land.’

Building a 36ft tall sculpture with bales of straw..Beyond imagination!

At 36ft tall and made out of straw, this impressive sculpture of a meerkat is anything but ‘simples’.

Proudly looking out over motorists in rural Nantwich, the statue is built on a 6ft base and has lights in its eyes.

The meerkat, made popular thanks to an insurance company's TV adverts, is 30 times bigger than a real-life creature, and is the latest in a long line of impressive works of art.

Each year, staff at Snugburys Ice Cream Farm, Hurleston, celebrate the summer with a new design.

The concept started in 1998 with a huge Millennium Dome sculpture and has also seen a straw replica of the Lovell telescope, London Eye as well as last year’s Big Ben standing beside the A51 near Chester.

Director Chris Sadler and his wife Cheryl come up with the ideas and the creations are made by Mike Harper, who builds a steel skeleton which is then stuffed with hay.

Speaking about this year’s design, Mr Harper, 57, said: ‘Everyone loves meerkats, especially my wife, so we thought it would be a good idea.

‘We start planning it in January and then have a big push stuffing it at the end which takes about a month.

‘Mike is an amazing talent and was happy to have a go at building it.

‘People absolutely adore it – it says that it cheers them up, and it doesn’t cost them anything.’

Daredevil risks his life by launching himself off 100ft cliff

This is the moment a foolhardy daredevil launched himself from a 100ft cliff in one of the most reckless tombstoning stunts caught on camera in the UK.

The unidentified jumper stood poised on the edge of the cliff in Penzance, Cornwall, before hurling himself into the air.

With arms flailing, he spent around 2.5 seconds in freefall before crashing into the sea below.

The sea is believed to be about 20ft deep in the spot where he landed.

Photographer Alastair Sopp caught the leap on camera in a sequence of 11 images.

Alistair said he spoke to the 'tombstoner' shortly after he made his death-defying jump.

He explained he'd made the dive after studying tide and weather charts for weeks but it still took a while to pluck up the courage.

'It was a breathtaking moment. I couldn't believe he jumped from so high up.

'I went and saw him down below and he said a lot of planning had gone into it, visiting on different tides, waiting for weather, and diving down to check depth.

'He said it was a calculated risk. It took him a while to compose himself and stop his legs shaking before being confident enough to make the leap. He told me he'd hurt his ribs and he probably won't jump it again.'

Despite repeated calls for young people to stop throwing themselves off cliffs and piers into Britain's waters, the message clearly had not filtered through to this daredevil.

Each year coastguards and ambulance services are called to deal with horrific injuries including paralysis and broken necks, as people leap into the water unaware of the risks.

Many hurl themselves into the sea not realising the dangers which lurk below the surface, such as rocks and debris, while others simply jump into shallow water, leaving themselves at risk of potentially fatal and brain spinal injuries.

Amazing 'one slip and its all over' feats over a cliff by extreme artists

Bodies intertwined, these daredevils risk life and limb by balancing above a 300m cliff edge without showing any fear.

In extreme artist Eskil Ronningsbakken's latest stunts he also teeters on a pile of chairs placed on the Kjeragbolten boulder wedged precariously between two rock faces over a 1,000 metre drop in Rogaland, Norway.

More daring displays in the name of art show Eskil performing a handstand at a lookout platform over the winding Trollstigen road, Norway.

Eskil, 30, has also been training others how to make bold shapes at dangerous spots.

Spectacular pictures show how he balances 300 metres above a lake locked in gymnastic poses with one of his students, Kenyan Moses Wepukhuli, 25.

The amazing 'one slip and its all over' feats were caught on camera at lofty locations around Norway.

Sure-footed Eskil, a Norwegian, has been pulling off his jaw-dropping balancing acts around the world for 25 years.

Sometimes walking for up to six hours to get to the locations for his endeavours, Eskil uses yoga to train and prepare for his bold shapes in dangerous places.

Describing himself as an 'educated balancing performer', he has been sculpting his abilities since the age of five. The skills have taken him through circus troupes and across the globe.

Describing his performances as 'expressions of art', Eskil is currently touring with a team of 10 people as part of a documentary about his incredible achievements.

The crew have been visiting some of Eskil's playgrounds, recording brand new stunts for the first time - like the unicycle at Trollveggen mountain - and improving on old performances for camera.

He said: 'I prepare myself for the stunts a little different every single time, depending on the locations and my planned moves. I do warm ups, yoga and meditation every time before performing.

'I like to call it 'fuelling the power of nature'.

'Yoga and different breathing techniques helps me to stay focused, and hit the right wave of energy.

'You have to become one with the nature and your surroundings, and never try to force it to follow you. The consequence might happen to be your last decision if you do so.'

For the documentary, which will be screened in Scandinavia next year, Eskil had to perform each stunt several times to make sure the crew had the shots they needed.

'It was my first time doing so many heavy balancing acts within a short period of time,' he said.

'And it was very demanding. But when I return to normal life, I get cravings to return to the mountains.

'I'm addicted to mountains and heights and combining it with balancing. It is simply my passion.'

Seeing an Indian yogi on television calmly balancing inspired the younger Eskil to devote his life to the precise art.

'Living in the countryside of Norway helped,' he said.

'My mother would be screaming at me to come down from heights all the time, but my dad would be saying, "Wait a minute, let me take a picture first."

'You learn a lot from that kind of play in environments like that. You learn to respect the height and danger.'

Joining a circus at 18, Eskil finely perfected his craft under the expert tutelage of Peter Jakob, a trainer with the Moscow State Circus.

Developing his abilities over several years, Eskil has now reached a level of athletic excellence mixed with spiritual calm.

However, he says he is always acutely aware of the risks he takes with his balancing.

'I feel fear, of course I do,' he said. 'We are humans and we have a natural sense of self-preservation.'

'However, I must control that fear before I undertake any new project because otherwise it would lead to lethal mistakes.

'If I ever find myself totally fearless then that is when I will stop what I am doing.'

19 years old teenager suspected of stealing AT LEAST 5 planes, FBI should make good use of this genius BAREFOOT BANDIT

A teenager who became a folk hero in America after eluding police for two years by stealing fast cars, powerboats and planes has finally been captured in the Bahamas.

Colton Harris-Moore, 19, was dubbed the ‘Barefoot Bandit’ because he went shoeless during his crime spree and left chalk footprints as a calling card.

The teen’s legend grew with supporters wearing ‘Run, Colton Run’ t-shirts and following his daring exploits on Facebook.

He was branded a modern-day Billy The Kid after leaving cash and a note at a veterinary clinic saying he had stolen some ‘extra cash’ and wanted it to be used to help animals.

Although he has never formally learned to fly, he is suspected of stealing at least five planes, including one he piloted for more than 1,000 miles from Indiana to the Bahamas islands off Florida’s coast.

He is said to be a self-taught pilot through playing flight-simulator games and reading instruction manuals.

But his capers reportedly came to an end today when he was caught trying to steal a boat at Harbour Island, a small tourist destination in the sunshine islands.

He allegedly crash-landed a plane on nearby Great Abaco Island a fortnight ago and has been blamed for a string of seven break-ins in the area.

The wily 6ft 5ins tall teen is a skilled outdoorsman who honed his abilities growing up in the woods of Puget Sound, about 30 miles north of Seattle, Washington.

The night before his arrest, he broke into an island bar, dismantled a security light and sat watching television.

Harris-Moore's mother, Pam Kohler, said her son had a troubled childhood.

His first conviction, for possession of stolen property, came at age 12. Within a few months of turning 13, he had three more offences on his record.

He has since been linked to dozens of burglaries, including several airplane thefts.

During the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, a plane that may have been stolen by Harris-Moore skirted a flight zone set up for the event.

It never entered restricted airspace during its erratic journey, helping the pilot evade authorities.

‘He’s gone from being a regional nuisance to a national nuisance to an international criminal,’ Seattle FBI agent Steven Dean said last week. But Mrs Kohler has publicly defended her son, saying the allegations against him are exaggerated.

She hoped he would flee to a country that doesn't have an extradition treaty with the United States.

Tonight, she had no comment on the arrest.

Harris-Moore was sentenced to nearly four years in juvenile detention after being caught in an unoccupied home in 2007, but he did well enough there that he was transferred to a group home.

There he sneaked out of a window more than two years ago and has been on the run ever since.

For the past five days soldiers and police armed with shotguns on the Caribbean island had been hunting him. They had put up a $10,000 (£6,600) reward for information leading to his arrest.

Harris-Moore had won admiration in his home state of Washington for his ability to evade police, and Bahamians had appeared to also be full of respect for him.

The few people who have crossed paths with Harris-Moore in the last few days said he did not seem nervous.

Bartender Colby Curry said the fugitive entered his sports bar on Tuesday evening, drank a beer and left after five minutes. He said Harris-Moore was wearing a cap over a shaved head, and no shoes.

'He was really calm,' said Curry, who only realised it was the fugitive after police called the bar to report that Harris-Moore had been spotted in the area. 'He seemed like just a regular guy.'

To his admirers, part of Harris-Moore's appeal is that he's not known for violence.

But the FBI's wanted poster had warned that he might possess stolen firearms and should be considered dangerous.

The latest saga began when Harris-Moore allegedly stole the single-engine Cessna from an airport in Bloomington, Indiana, and flew it more than 1,000 miles to the low-lying island chain off the Florida coast.

Oldest person on earth turns 130..but she seems young!

Authorities in the former Soviet republic of Georgia claim a woman from a remote mountain village turned 130, making her the oldest person on Earth.

Antisa Khvichava from western Georgia was born on July 8, 1880, said Georgiy Meurnishvili, spokesman for the civil registry at the Justice Ministry.

The woman, who lives with her 40-year-old grandson in an idyllic vine-covered country house in the mountains, retired from her job as a tea and corn picker in 1965, when she was 85, records say.

I've always been healthy, and I've worked all my life - at home and at the farm,' Antisa said, in a bright dress and headscarf - and red lipstick.

Sitting in the chair and holding her cane, Antisa spoke quietly through an interpreter - since she never went to school to learn Georgian and speaks only the local language, Mingrelian.

Her age couldn't immediately be independently verified. Her birth certificate was lost - one of the great number to have disappeared in the past century amid revolutions and a civil war which followed the collapse of the USSR.

But Meurnishvili showed two Soviet-era documents that he says attest to her age.

The Gerontology Research Group currently recognizes 114-year-old Eugenie Blanchard of Saint Barthelemy, France, as the world's oldest person. Antisa would make Eugenie look like a spring chicken - but the research group is yet to examine Antisa's claim.

She has a son, 10 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren and six great, great grandchidren.

Her 70-year-old son Mikhail, who was also at the party, apparently was born when his mother was 60.

She said she also had two children from a previous marriage, but says they died of hunger during World War II.

Mikhail said that, although his mother had difficulty walking and had stayed largely in bed during the past seven years, she made a point of hobbling unaided to the outhouse on the other side of the yard, because she hates to be a nuisance.

Though her body has all but quit on her - her fingers cramped by age mean she can no longer maintain her love of knitting - relatives say her mind remains sharp.

'Grandma has a very clear mind and she hasn't lost an ability to think rationally,' said Khvichava's granddaughter Shorena, who lives in a nearby village.

To mark Antisa's birthday, a string ensemble played folk music out on the lawn, while grandchildren offered traditional Mingrelian dishes like corn porridge and spiced chicken with herbs to all guests as the party.
