SONY a550 DSLR Camera

Happy New Year my 'JOCKoholiks' and everyone!
as we embark on a new journey into the year 2011
wat better time it is to take colourful pikures with family and
frens on this joyous occasion with a Customized Cake Design in
the form of this SONY a550 DSLR Camera!

its my first take on creatin this Customized 3D Camera design.
this one falls into my Mini Cakes category :) the client gave me an
image of wat she had wanted for a birthday celebration.
and in light of the new look for 'haus of JOCKolate' © design concept,
she was the first client for this launch!

i gotta say, this is probably one of my most favorite 3D Customized
Cake Design ive made till date!

complete details like the LCD display screen and view finder!
ive a feelin if this edible DSLR Camera was left on a table top,
theres aught to be someone whos probably gonna pick it up thinkin
it was a real Camera! haha :)

Mini Luxury Brands

if ever i was given a choice of a theme for a Customized Cake
Design, i would most definitely pick the theme of - Luxury Brands!
i love recreatin these branded goods as Edible Art! not only are they
time consumin and meticulous too make, it is these kind of Cakes
are what drives me to into a Mind-Bogglin overdrive of creativity!

what better way to pair up such a wonderful, elegant piece of artwork
than to have a rich, moist Double Chocolate Cake with a generous
spread of Hazelnut Chocolate Filling in every layer! OMG... heavenly!
- GUCCI - PRADA - LOUIS VUITTON -

the trick to achieve this one of a kind replica cake is to have an eye
for detail. i normally browse the internet to hunt for images of nice
Branded Labels to recreate as Cakes. once uve decided and happy
with ure goods, it time to take a real good stare and not miss even
the most minute details! only then ull achieve the 'wow factor' look.

Bollywood Bliss

Congratulations to my cousin Farhana & Zeyaulhaq
on their Bollywood Extravaganza Wedding held - 11th December 2010.
it was the most memorable wedding reception ive ever been to.
the deco was in shades of blues adorned with lanterns, long flowing
veils of ruffled curtains embedded with pearls, diamonds and rubies...
as night falls, the whole place became alive with countless hanging and
free standin chandeliers! OMG... it was just Luxurious & Gorgeous!

my cake with the dais...
i cant say how awesome it felt to have my cake looked like it was
made specially part of the whole concept of the decoration!
i made this cake especially for her wedding day :D if given the
time and opportunity, i would have created the most talked about
10 tiered wedding cake of the year! haha :)
this really was the mega, Bollywood Wedding of the year!

shes finally gotten hitched! i cant believe the girl i grew up with
playin catchin around the bungalow, hopscotch, five stones, rounders
and the occasional 'masak-masak' [ehe >.<"] has found her companion.
many joyous years ahead Ana, stay happy and have a wonderful life!

this was my first ever take on a Customized Cake Topper!
it was real fun hand craftin these couple dolls from scratch.
i had these done a day or two before assemblin the tiered cakes.
really love how the brides shawl and skirt shines!

how can a Bollywood Inspired 2 tier Cake be complete without havin
intricate swirls and henna designs on each pillow! comes complete
with embroidered lace around it too :)

Greek Goddess

id say that this is one of the most elegant cake designs ive done so far.
i do believe that itll look uber awesome if i made another version of
this one as a Wedding Cake! its simple yet classy. this one was done
for a 21st Birthday Celebration. im guessin she got inspired from
watchin the movie "My Big Fat GREEK Wedding"

its got a nice Earthy feelin to it duncha think? i made the Olive Leaves
and spray painted em overnight to harden, as well as the head wreath.
really love how its got a nice shine to it :) and the drapin of 'cloth',
vessels and columns too.

i really liked how the Grecian Columns turned out :)
im thinkin if i did a few more tiers, the cake would look like the
Leaning Tower of Pisa instead! haha...

PIXARS Dinoco Copter

this one was for a little girl whos celebratin her 2nd Birthday!
it was a request from a cousin of mine actually :) she had wanted a
3D Customized Cake design in the shape of a helicopter.

i had thought of a few cartoons and was thinkin of recreating
'Budgey the little helicopter'. then i also remembered that in
'Thomas the train' there was also a helicopter. as the outlook of
the cakes gotta be cute and pink, ive decided to go with the
helicopter from PIXARS Cars. there was this huge blue helicopter
from the Dinoco Race team. guess i gave it a fresh coat of colour!

Royal Prince Throne

its the time of year again... its ure Birthday!
if theres one day that you can proudly proclaim ureself as King,
be treated nicely and all ure wants, wishes and decisions
must be obeyed to, this would be the perfect cake to grace ure
crownin ocassion!
Charlie has asked for a one of a kind, grand lookin Customized
Cake Design for his 18th Birthday Celebration at Fullerton Hotel.
and since the theme for his party was Royal Thai Prince, i did
a one of a kind 2 tier pillow cake complete with a crown and a
sash! he choose Black, White & Silver as the colour scheme.

this was my very first take on a Pillow Cake Design and i gotta say
i did stumble upon some minor challenges and problems. but i
gotta say im really proud of this Cake!

Katanaguitars

i really like doin 3D Customized Designer Cakes!
its always interestin to know wat yall out there wanna have as a
special one of a kind Cake. ive received many requests for
Customized Designer Cakes, but none would excite me more if it
was a 3D Cake! Amelia gave me a link to a pikture of this guitar
from the internet to be made into a Cake :)

its got this phunk and retro feel to it. kinda like the Rollin Stones uh :)

most weird Customized Designer Cake request ive ever gotten till

Chunks as its filling. ive lost count as to how many times
ive barfed and gagged while doin this cake! hahaha :D

Scrabble - Classic Version

do yall remember my first take on the Scrabble Board?
a fren of mine Ben, who wanted a Pink version for Scrabble.
apparently he told a close fren of his, about my
Customized Cake Designs and referred James to me :)
and tadaa... another version is made. Classic Scrabble Cake! haha :P

i guess the idea of havin a birthday wish expressed using these cute
litlle tiles is somethin unique and different from the norm :)
perhaps they could play the real Scrabble Board Game and have
a bite out of this one together. this time round ive included the
tile holder which holds the extra tiles while you crack ure brains
thinkin of the next word for the game :)

HALO

i recently got this request for a Helmet Cake Design.
i was like, cool! interestin idea. so she sent me an image of the
design and at first glance i was like, uh... o.0 ?
and so i realize it wasnt just an ordinary helmet,
it was one from HALO - a science fiction video game.

she had this cake made for a guy fren for his 25th Birthday Celebration.
it was a sell out! and i also heard that the birthday guy had wanted
to preserve the cake and not eat it! haa... :P
