A six foot chocolate sculpture of the iconic Concorde, unveiled at Zara’s Chocolates in Southville, has been described as a ‘world first’ . The sweet sculpture is part of the city’s ‘Edible Histories’ project and will be tasted at a ‘chocolate smashing’ event later in the year as a charity fundraiser.
The delicious Concorde replica will be wrapped in gold foil and will go on display at Aerospace Bristol alongside the much larger real-life jet next week. Bristol artist, Luke Jerram designed the stunning sculpture which was made by artisan chocolatier, Zara Leahy from Zara’s Chocolates in Southville.
Luke said the sculpture is the third in a series of five replicas which will be made during the project this year, all of which tell the story of Bristol. He said despite the warm summer temperatures, the sculptures will all be kept in temperature controlled rooms at different museums around the city.
