Too pricey treats from Neiman MarcusPosted Mar 31st 2006 1:04PM by Nicole WestonFiled under: Dessert, Lush Life, Chocolate, Stores & ShoppingI can sort-of understand the $99
chocolate bunny for sale on the Neiman Marcus special
occasion desserts website. Though I'm not completely sure what "semi-solid" means, the bunny is 19-inches
high and weighs almost 5 pounds. And $35 for egg-shaped
chocolate chicks is not entirely unreasonable because they have been painstakingly hand-decorated with colored
chocolate. I have to draw the line on exorbitantly priced desserts somewhere, though, and the set of
three chocolate eggs filled with marshmallows, graham cracker and caramel does not seem worth the $80 price tag,
especially considering the additional $17 shipping fee. The most unreasonable dessert is a six-inch
square cheesecake, wrapped in chocolate "paper" to look like a present, that retails for $190 plus $27 for
shipping. Did I mention that the cake only serves 6 people?
