Yilan Cake Museum Introduction
"Ilan Cake" - The thinnest cake in the world, with a thickness of only 0.1 cm, lightweight as paper, translucent, crispy, and delicious, it leaves people wanting more. With a name that carries strong local sentiment, it has earned thumbs up from everyone. It is a must-experience workshop for tourists visiting the Invention Museum. Professional instructors provide hands-on teaching for DIY ultra-thin cow tongue cakes, covering the brand story, invention motivation, distinguishing the cake skin and filling, and gaining professional knowledge of cake making during the dough wrapping and rolling process. Within one hour (including baking), participants will complete six pieces of ultra-thin handmade Ilan cakes. It may seem simple, but it is actually quite challenging! While waiting for the cakes to bake, professional guides will lead visitors to tour the handmade production department of ultra-thin cow tongue cakes, the packaging department, as well as special production equipment and processes. The Invention Museum covers about 4,000 ping, making it the largest cake-making tourist factory in eastern Taiwan. In addition to providing leisure and shopping for visitors, the first floor showcases various cake molds and presents the story of Ilan through static and dynamic media; the second floor features a transparent production line for observation and a DIY classroom for the public to experience the joy of making cakes. The museum is designed with a strong Chinese architectural theme, allowing visitors to feel the festive atmosphere of traditional marriage customs, and is a great destination for families on weekends. The park is well landscaped with high greenery and features cute bullock carts, train figurines, a sixteen-tone gong, and oversized cake molds for photo opportunities. Additionally, artist Hu Fuging was invited to create a 30-meter-long mosaic mural inspired by the unique landscapes and scenery of Lanyang Plain, using over 400,000 mosaic tiles, taking nearly four months to complete, making it the longest mosaic mural in Taiwan.
