The mother-daughter duo who owns the bakery,Hannalee Pervan and Catherine Pervan, unveiled their latest creation on Sunday: a six-foot rendering of Han Solo frozen in carbonite from 1980’sStar Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back, made entirely of bread.
The bread version depicts the iconic moment whenHarrison Ford’s Han Solo is imprisoned alive after he is unable to pay his debts.
Hannalee tells PEOPLE that her mother Catherine was the mastermind behind “Pan Solo.”

“My mom was going through some of her favorite scenes in her head and this one kept coming up for her,” she says, adding that they are both “huge"Star Warsfans.
Although One House Bakery hasn’t won theScarecrow Contestin the past, Hannalee says they hope to win this year with their Pan Solo entry. Votes are cast in person in Benicia, but the statue is becoming a viral sensation.
“This is a project that my mom and I work on together to spend time with each other and celebrate our town,” Hannalee says when asked about the surprising reaction to the piece.

Hannalee shared photos on Facebook of herselfworking with her motherand serving as the model for the piece, since she is the “same height” as Harrison Ford.
Hannalee says when the season is over, the statue will be given to employees or customers “that really love” it, and it sounds like they might already have a candidate.
The intricate sculpture is made of “dead dough,” which does not contain yeast, and was baked in sections that were attached to the board and act as the base for the giant rendering. If nobody claims Pan Solo later this fall, the dough will be composted and the board recycled, Hannalee says.

When they opened the bakery in 2018, they created their own “Game of Scones,” featuring a White Walker made from bread and an iron throne comprised of many baguettes.
