"Yilan Cake" - The thinnest cake in the world, with a thickness of only 0.1 cm, light as paper and translucent, crispy and delicious, making it irresistible. With a name rich in local sentiment, it receives thumbs up from everyone and is a must-experience DIY class for tourists at the Invention Museum. Under the guidance of professionals, participants can learn to make ultra-thin beef tongue cakes, covering the brand story, invention motivation, as well as how to distinguish the cake skin and filling. Through the processes of making and rolling the cakes, they gain insights into the professional knowledge of cake making and appreciate the creative spirit of Yilan Cake. Within an hour (including baking), participants will complete six pieces of ultra-thin handmade Yilan cakes. Although it seems simple, it is actually not easy! While waiting for the cakes to bake, expert guides will lead visitors through the handcrafting production area, packaging department, and showcase the special production equipment and processes. The Invention Museum occupies about 4,000 pings and is the largest cake-making tourist factory in eastern Taiwan. In addition to providing leisure and shopping for tourists, the first floor displays a variety of cake stamps and presents the story of Yilan through interactive media; the second floor features a transparent production line for observation and a DIY classroom for hands-on cake-making experiences. The design theme of the museum is deeply rooted in Chinese culture, allowing visitors to experience the festive atmosphere of traditional marriage customs, making it a great destination for families on weekends. The park features extensive greenery and includes cartoonish ox carts, train figures, a sixteen-tone gong, and an oversized cake mold for visitors to take photos. Additionally, artist Hu Fuh-Jin created a 30-meter-long mosaic mural based on the unique landscapes and scenery of the Lanyang Plain, using over 400,000 mosaic tiles, which took nearly four months to complete, making it the longest mosaic mural in Taiwan.
