It's on sale for a whopping $1,995, and fashionistas such as Coco Rocha and Alexa Chung have been spotted sporting it on their travels.

3. FACT! Rumor has it that both the Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel and the Shutters on the Beach turned them away. LiLo and DiLo were in town for Lindsay’s court hearing.


4. FACT! The cupcake is made with rare chocolate beans, Tahitian Gold Vanilla Caviar and Louis XIII de Remy Martin Cognac. Requests for the ornate cupcake must be put in at least 48 hours in advance of pick-up.
