  • Welcome to How To Cook That I am Ann Reardon

  • Today I am going to show you how to make a chocolate bridge, this one is the Sydney Harbour

  • Bridge but you can use the same method to make whatever bridge you would like to make.

  • I made this one for the Weekend Sunrise which is a TV show here in Sydney, and of course

  • you can use the Surprise Cakes app like I did to add a fireworks show to your bridge

  • too. Lots of you asked can you show us how to make

  • the bridge as well, so here it is... Firstly print out a picture of your bridge

  • and then cover it in non-stick baking paper. Place some chocolate in a piping bag and for

  • the main parts of the bridge use a flat piping tip and pipe that main structural support

  • bit. Slide the baking paper up and repeat that

  • a second time for the other side of the bridge structure.

  • And you can print out this particular one for the sydney harbour bridge from the website

  • in the size I am using I'll put that on the website howtocookthat.net and I'll put a link

  • to that description just below this video. Squeeze all that chocolate into a new piping

  • bag and cut off a small amount, check you can get a smooth line from it, if not cut

  • a tiny bit more off and check again. Take your bag of chocolate and pipe the detailed

  • parts of the bridge. Carefully making sure they are as straight as you can get them and

  • then repeat that on the other half as well.

  • You can use either use tempered chocolate or you can use compound chocolate for this.

  • Today I am using compound because the bridge has to survive under the heat of the TV lights

  • and compound chocolate has a higher melting point.

  • To make the towers that support the bridge at each end make a lego version each tower

  • and make that in the correct size for your bridge. Then stick that onto a lego base and

  • build walls up around it. You'll notice on mine I used the smooth tiles on top that it

  • will have the smooth edge.

  • Heat some reusable food grade molding gel in the microwave and then more it over your

  • lego prototype. Tap it on the bench to get rid of any bubbles. Now this gel takes quite

  • a while to cool down and set, I put it in the fridge and it still took a couple of hours.

  • Once it is set you can just pull the lego walls off. Then loosen each edge and push

  • the lego out and now you have a mold for the end of your bridge.

  • Fill the mold with white chocolate give it a tap to get any air bubbles. You can see

  • this is buldging out slightly on the sides and I don't mind that shape for my bridge,

  • if you want your perfectly straight then just build some lego walls around it to support

  • it. Once it is set push it out of the mold, then make another one so you have one for

  • each end.

  • Now to make our road. I am making this fairly thick as it needs to support the weight of

  • the bridge without breaking. Spread it out smoothly and let it start to set. Then take

  • a ruler and trim it straight making sure it is the right width to fit on your bridge towers.

  • If you are not sure make it narrower than you think because you don't want to put it

  • all together and then it not fit. Then place another sheet of baking paper over

  • the top and something heavy to keep it from curling up because chocolate tends to curl

  • as it sets.

  • Top make the across parts of the bridge draw two lines on baking paper the width of the

  • road that you've just done and then put that over the template. Pipe a box with a criss

  • cross in the middle and then pipe more boxes but leave them open on one side because we

  • are going to join them up tot he ones that we have already done.

  • To put the bridge together take one side and pipe some chocolate across at the road level

  • and add the road on top.

  • Next on the lower level add one of the criss crossed boxes at a time following the curve

  • of the bridge around as you go.

  • Once you've done that then repeat that for the top of the bridge as well. Once that is

  • completed then carefully add more chocolate along the road, around the top and the middle

  • then quickly add the other side of the bridge quickly before that sets and then line that

  • up straight..

  • Cover a cake board in foil and then using either white chocolate coloured with oil based

  • food colouring or blue candy melts cover the entire board in a thin layer.

  • Use a palette knife and run it back and forth from one side to side to create that rippled

  • water effect across the board.

  • Use your template to measure how far apart the land needs to be and add some dark green

  • chocolate. Followed by some lighter green on top.

  • Before it sets take a knife or a fork and gently poke it into the chocolate and quickly

  • pull up to create some texture sort of grass or bush effect onto your chocolate . Once

  • that is set add your bridge towers and then use the template to get them in the correct

  • position make sure they are the right distance apart and on the right angle and use some

  • melted chocolate to secure them in place. Then finally and very carefully add the delicate

  • bridge on top.

  • If you need to transport it the keep the bridge part off and flat and seperate in an esky

  • until you get to your location.
