Yilan Cake Invention Museum Introduction
Yilan Cake - The thinnest cake in the world, with a thickness of only 0.1 cm, light as paper and translucent. It is crispy and delicious, making it hard to resist after the first bite. With a name that evokes strong hometown feelings, it has garnered thumbs up from everyone and is a must-try experience for tourists visiting the Invention Hall. Professional instructors provide hands-on teaching for DIY ultra-thin cow tongue cakes, covering brand stories, invention motivations, and how to distinguish the cake skin, as well as the filling combination. Participants will learn professional knowledge about pastries through the process of wrapping and rolling the cakes. In just one hour (including baking), they will complete six pieces of ultra-thin handmade Yilan cakes. Though it seems easy, it is quite challenging! While waiting for the cakes to bake, professional guides will take everyone on a tour of the handmade production department, packaging department, and specialized production equipment and processes of the ultra-thin cow tongue cakes. The Yilan Cake Invention Hall covers approximately 4,000 ping and is the largest cake manufacturing tourist factory in eastern Taiwan. Besides offering leisure and shopping experiences for visitors, the first floor features a variety of cake molds and uses multimedia presentations to tell the story of Yilan. The second floor has a transparent production line for viewing and an interactive DIY classroom where people can enjoy the fun of making cakes themselves. The Invention Hall is designed with a strong Chinese-style theme, allowing visitors to feel the festive atmosphere of traditional wedding customs. It is a great place for families to visit on weekends. The park is beautifully landscaped with greenery, and features cute cartoon-like ox carts, train figures, a sixteen-tone gong, and an oversized cake mold that provide photo opportunities for travelers. Additionally, artist Hu Fuging was invited to create a 30-meter-long mosaic mural themed around the unique landscapes and scenery of the Lanyang Plain, which used over 400,000 mosaic tiles and took nearly four months to complete, making it the longest mosaic mural in Taiwan.
