It measures two meters, it is made from flour, water and sugar and it took a month of secret night work. We have already seen other edible versions of Han Solobut it is the first replica of the popular ‘Star Wars’ character (‘starwars‘) life-size coming out of a bakery oven.
Named very aptly as ‘Lonely Breadthe peculiar creation is the work of Catherine and Hannalee Pervan, mother and daughter, bakers and owners of One House Bakeryan artisan bakery in California where they have been giving free rein to their passion for the masses and also for fantasy and science fiction since 2018.
The same year they opened the family business they already attracted customers with a White Walker next to a throne of baguettes inspired by the ‘Game of Thrones’ series, and the good reception of their initiative encouraged them to turn the idea into a sort of annual tradition, recreating other characters from titles such as ‘The Mandalorian’ or ‘Loki’. Not for nothing do they define themselves as nerds (geeks) and they don’t hold back when it comes to undertaking ambitious projects of this caliber, even if it robs them of hours of rest.
His latest work, the iconic image of Han Solo trapped in kryptonite at the end of ‘The Empire Strikes Back’, has beenexceeded all your expectations with the repercussion that they have reached in the national and international press, and also in networks, reaching to be mentioned even by Mark Hamill. The fidelity of the image and the enormous dimensions are not for less.
The two bakers have had to spend many hours working secretly during the night, with the premises closed, to surprise their customers and passers-by. As they have stated to New York Timesmany curious people approach without believing that it is a figure made entirely of dough, but the truth is that it contains nothing more than water, flour and sugar, a mixture called “dead dough” when contain no yeastvery malleable.
To make it, they started from body figure by Hannalee Pervan herself, arranged on a plywood board, on which they began to model the details with the wet mass, based on photographs of the character embodied by Harrison Ford in the saga of George Lucas, now owned by Disney.
The spectacular bread sculpture participates in the contest Scarecrow Contest from the town of Benicia, where the bakery is, organized to promote local commerce on the occasion of Halloween.
