Kuo Yuan Ye Museum of Cake and Pastry Introduction
When it comes to traditional Taiwanese pastries, one immediately thinks of the engagement pastries. The Kuo Yuan Ye Museum of Cake and Pastry houses collections of traditional pastry culture and wedding customs, allowing visitors to gain insights into the pastry culture. Through hands-on activities, visitors can also enhance their understanding of traditional baking. The museum is divided into three main thematic areas: the tourist factory, the pastry culture center, and the Green Mark Living Hall. In the tourist factory, visitors can progressively learn about the complete manufacturing process of products—mixing, shaping, baking, cooling, packaging, and assembling—through guided tours along the factory's corridors. In the pastry culture center, various festive occasions and different types of pastry molds can be seen, with traces of mold usage that tell stories of the past. In addition to pastry molds, there are also ancient matchmaking scenes and costume props, allowing visitors to experience the complexities and importance of traditional weddings. Moreover, the "Green Mark Living Hall," recognized as a gold-level green building, incorporates modern design, creating a comfortable and friendly learning environment. The exhibition areas and teaching activity zones can accommodate up to 120 people, and both the DIY workshop area and the pastry baking area are open space, providing visitors with a clean, bright, and safe environment for hands-on experiences. For making traditional pineapple cakes as souvenirs, every participant in the experience will leave with a creation. The charm of Kuo Yuan Ye Museum of Cake and Pastry lies in the opportunity to personally experience various products.
