Cake Artwork by Piece of Artt
#apieceofartt

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

a string of pearl looking trimmings. it really gives that
