Yilan Cake Museum Introduction
"Ilan Cake" - The thinnest cake in the world, with a thickness of only 0.1 cm, it is as light as paper and transparent, crispy and delicious, making it hard to resist after tasting. With a name that carries a strong sense of hometown spirit, it receives thumbs up from everyone and is a must-experience DIY lesson for visitors at the Invention Museum. Professional instructors provide hands-on teaching to create ultra-thin cow tongue cakes, covering the brand story, invention motivation, as well as recognizing the cake skin and filling. Through the processes of wrapping and rolling the dough, participants will learn professional knowledge about pastries and appreciate the creative spirit of Ilan Cake. In just one hour (including baking), participants will complete six pieces of ultra-thin handmade Ilan Cake, which may seem simple but is actually not easy! While waiting for the cakes to bake, professional tour guides will lead visitors to explore the handmade production area, packaging area, special production equipment, and production process of the ultra-thin cow tongue cake. The Invention Museum occupies an area of about 4,000 ping and is the largest cake-making tourism factory in eastern Taiwan. In addition to providing leisure and shopping functions for tourists, the first floor showcases various cake stamps and presents the story of Ilan through static and dynamic media. The second floor features a transparent production line for viewing and a DIY classroom for the public to experience the fun of making cakes. The museum's design theme is heavily influenced by traditional Chinese culture, creating a festive atmosphere for traditional wedding customs, making it a great destination for families visiting on weekends. The park is beautifully landscaped with high greenery, and features cute cartoon cow carts, train figures, a sixteen-tone gong, and an oversized cake mold for visitors to take photos. Additionally, artist Hu Fucing was invited to create a 30-meter long mosaic mural based on the unique landscapes and scenery of the Lanyang Plain, using over 400,000 mosaic tiles and taking nearly four months to complete, making it the longest mosaic mural in Taiwan.
