hey there fellow Jockoholiks'

its been a very long hiatus for me here on hausofJockolate's

blog due to a change in work commitments over the past

3 years! i took a 2 year long break from creating my wonderful

works of edible art to pursue a career in the teaching industry.

im doing well, and ive decided to embark on a new concept

and bring my creations in a new direction - ART!

i would like to invite my Jockoholik's to a new project of mine

which is currently in progress. its called, Piece of Artt.

the cakes featured are inspired from the study of various artists

and their art styles. im taking on the challenge of creating a new

breed of cake artistry combining Fine Arts & Culinary Art.

you'll find artworks paying homage to renowned Artists like

Vincent Van Gogh - Sunflower 1988 (as seen here) and

various art forms & styles like Stain Glass, Batik, etc: and

artworks with reference to Impressionism, Pop Art etc:

do visit the official Piece of Artt Facebook page

& follow on Instagram #apieceofartt

i hope to celebrate ART with all my fellow Jockoholik's

and have everyone own and enjoy a Piece of Artt.  

Basket of Posies

 hey yall!

heres anotha one of my hand piped buttercream creations

for the month of Love - February!

what better way to celebrate with your loved one with a

cake decorated in colorful roses :D

this time round, i finally had a chance to try out the

piping tip i bought ages ago when i first started out in

the baking scene! this is only the 2nd cake i made with 

a basket weave effect. i really had fun creating the 

weave with almond flavor buttercream. it was hard work

as they had to be aligned neatly and match the starting

points as it ends!

this cake was requested by my friends friend for his 

wife to celebrate her birthday. how sweet right?

he had asked for a family of 4 teddy bears to sit 

amongst the bed of roses. kinda looks like a story

from a fairytale dosent it? :D

RSS Vigilance

 A friend of mine had asked if i was able to bake him 

a cake for an event recently. through my busy work

schedule, i managed to squeeze in his request for 

this one of a kind cake!

he had requested for a cake to feed 60 hungry navy crew

members! i had a great time recreating this medallion into

edible art from a given picture. the most interesting part of

this cake to me was creating the Singapore crest consisting of 

a lion and a tiger with a red shield with our 5 stars and crescent.

the feedback was resounding from the crew members!

they thoroughly enjoyed the moist Chocolate with Hazelnut 

filing cake! Im glad yall liked it :D

Moroccan Wedding

hey everyone!

As 2012 comes near to the end, i gotta admit that i

havent been as active as the past two years with baking 

my infamous, out of this world cakes due to my new work

commitments. as a teacher now, im only able to take in 

cake requests during the school holiday periods :)

this 5 tier wedding cake was a request from a colleague of

mine for her sister in-laws wedding in december this year.

it took me a full day and a half to complete this cake

and have it ready for the wedding day. this ones a fondant

covered, two flavor cake - Chocolate with Hazelnut filling

and Red Velvet cake. i am really glad with the outcome of 

this stacked cake! it really does compliments the decor of 

the wedding venue with the theme of Morocco.

Iron Man

 hey 'JOCKoholik's !

its 0909 and today marks a special day for 'haus of JOCKolate' ©

as i bring you the first ever debut of 'HOJ's very own EXTREME CAKES!

if yall watch shows like Food Network Challenge and Cake Boss 

on cable, then this would be my very own Extreme Cake Challenge!

to design a customized designer cake for Marvel Comics - Iron Man.

 Ive been planning to create an Extreme Cake since and ive finally

had the opportunity to do so this September for a birthday event.

i was as excited and thrilled as the birthday lady when i proposed 

the idea of having her Iron Man cake transformed into a 3D, 

light emitting mask just like how it does in the movies!

 With the flick of a switch, this 3D Iron Man mask goes from

a customized designer cake to an Extreme Cake design!

that beam of light across the mask really does glows! I bet her

family and friends would be blown off their seats when this cake

arrives in total darkness and lights up the room with its strong

beam of light! do watch out for a video of this cake posted above!

Salted Caramel Cupcakes

hey yall! i gotta say, ive discovered my newfound favorite

flavor to satisfy the awfully sweet tooth i have! i love caramel

and butterscotch flavors when i have my Starbucks coffee or

a cup of ice cream. and now, i have it in my cupcakes too!

the perfect blend of sweet and salty in both frosting and cake.

you can enjoy mouthfuls and not have that overly sweet 

taste that most frosted cupcakes have. this ones a must try!

JOCKoholik's behold! our favorite sponge creature

gets transformed into a 3D customized designer cake!

 One of my bestest girlfriends had a staycation for her 

24th birthday at Resorts World Sentosa, Equarius Hotel.

i surprised her with this 3D Spongebob cake as a birthday

gift! she was really pleasantly surprised with this 3 layer

Vanilla cake with Peach and Strawberry jam filing :)

Happy 24th Syazwana!

my two other besties Yana and Nasriah :D we had a

Bikini Bottom themed event for her too! i jazzed up 

the hotel room with silver and blue balloons as well 

as hung green crepe paper as seaweed. we all had

flower garlands to wear and truly enjoyed ourselves :)

POP ART!

 With the switch of my career this year, im now able to 

take up some request for customized designer cakes! ive

recently introduced a new artist to my students, showed

his artworks and also did a demo lesson on how to adapt

his style into their artworks. i personally love this art

style, and produce some artworks of my own too. 

He is non other than - Roy Lichtenstein!

 The thing i love much about 'pop art' is that colors

used are typically bright and the images showcased are

simple, carrying thick and thin lines; giving it that
3D graphic design look :D A friend of mine requested

for a cake and she gave me the freedom to design it!
So i chose to do a 'pop art' inspired cake! :)

Keeping true to Roy's 'pop art' comic style, ive included 

a speech bubble into the design of the cake. there are 

lots of unique, quirky and interesting messages you can 

include into these cakes! im real happy with the cake

design :D and if you're wondering what the flavor might

be? yup! its the all time 'haus fav' - Rainbow Cake!

Heart Swirls

Hey there fellow JOCKoholik's!

Gosh, its been so long since ive uploaded new creations

of my cakes huh... this ones a request from Nasri, a best 

friend of mine, for his brother's engagement ceremony.

 Nasri had requested that i reproduced a cake he saw

while browsing for ideas online. I don't normally 

reproduce cakes that have been done by other cake

artisans 'whole sale' though. I twigged this one to 

suit the color theme for the ceremony - Red & Silver.

Here i've added on the final touch to complete the

outlook of the cake! Happy  Engagement Salwah & Nahar!
