Wash and dry the bottle.  Cut a slit down the sides and then tape back in place &#8211; see the video for guidance.<\/p>\n<p>Take your white chocolate and if it is compound chocolate you can just melt it, if it is real chocolate containing cocoa butter you need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/temper-chocolate\/\" title=\"Chocolate Secrets Revealed\" target=\"_blank\">temper it<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Pour a small amount of white chocolate down the top end of your bottle for the section that is not filled with fanta.<\/p>\n<p>Tip out the excess into a bowl and straighten the line using a spatula.<\/p>\n<p>Add orange oil based food colour to the rest of the chocolate.

Then take the bottle and tip it upside down over the bowl to let the excess drip out.  Leave it upside down on some baking paper to set.<\/p>\n<p>Pour the rest of the orange into the top half of the bottle then slowly twist and turn to make sure all the sides are covered evenly in chocolate then stand it up and leave it to set.<\/p>\n<p>For the fizzy discs pour the sherbet into the chocolate and stir through.  Spread it out thinly on some baking paper and leave it for about 10 minutes. Use a cookie cutter to make circles in the chocolate then place it in the fridge to set firmly.<\/p>\n<p>Once your bottle is set remove the tape and the plastic, see the video for the easiest way to do this.<\/p>\n<p>Take the jelly out of the fridge and cut 8 circles.  Put all the remaining jelly off-cuts into a bowl and microwave them until they are just melted, it should feel only slightly warm.  Pour in the cream and whip it on high speed for around 3 minutes until it thickens to soft peaks.  Put this into a piping bag and put some in the base of your bottle.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/P2150718-550x413.jpg\" alt=\"fanta bottle cake ann reardon\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-43879\" data-wp-pid=\"43879\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/P2150718-550x413.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/P2150718-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/P2150718-60x45.jpg 60w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/P2150718-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Add a circle of cake and push it down into the mousse.
