Around this time last year, a department store in Japan offered up a million dollar cake. This year's cake at the Takashimaya department store in Osaka is not quite as pricey, but is still nothing to sneeze at. The 14-inch high cake is studded with about 100 diamonds totaling 50 carats. The cake itself has a square chocolate base and a chocolate sculpture of some kind on top that makes it look like a showpiece - which, of course, it is.
The cake is priced at $848,600 or 100 million yen, but a spokesperson for the store said that the value of all the diamonds on the cake is much higher than its price tag. She also suggested that "it would be ideal if a man were to buy it as a present for his wife."
The cake has been on display for at least a few days now and will remain up through Christmas, even if it is sold before then.

But worse, there's someone, somewhere champing at the bit to buy it.

Also, what's up with the Jesus loves us and CHRISTmas comments? We're commenting on a cake not worshipping satan, jeez.

A message you perceive as preachy may be music to someone else's hears. Not meant to come down on you, only to show another side. So please take no offense as none is intended.
"If you want to arrange it, this world you can change it. If we could only make this Christmas thing last. By helping a neighbor, even a stranger. To know who needs help, you need only just ask."

Merry Christmas All!!!!!!!!
