Kuo Yuan Ye Bakery Museum Introduction
When it comes to traditional pastries, one immediately thinks of the engagement giant cake. The Kuo Yuan Ye Museum of Cake and Pastry houses a collection of artifacts related to traditional cake culture and wedding customs, allowing visitors to understand pastry culture. Through hands-on experiences, visitors can also gain insights into traditional baking. The museum is mainly divided into three major thematic areas: the sightseeing factory, the cake culture hall, and the green label lifestyle hall. The sightseeing factory features a gradual pathway where, through guided tours, visitors can learn about the complete manufacturing process of products from mixing, shaping, baking, cooling, packaging, to assembly. In the cake culture hall, various festival-themed cake molds and different types of molds can be seen, with traces of their usage revealing historical contexts. In addition to the molds, there are also scenes of ancient courtship and costume props, allowing visitors to experience the complexities and importance of traditional weddings. Additionally, the "green label lifestyle hall," recognized as a golden level green building, incorporates modern design to create a comfortable and friendly learning experience space. The green label exhibition center features teaching activity areas, with classrooms accommodating up to 120 people, and both DIY production areas and cake baking zones are open, providing visitors with a clean, bright, and safe environment for hands-on activities. The DIY pineapple cake experience ensures that every participant leaves with their creation as a souvenir. The interesting aspect of the Kuo Yuan Ye Museum of Cake and Pastry is the ability to personally experience various product-making processes. Therefore, Kuo Yuan Ye has specially planned a "Nostalgic Pineapple Cake DIY Course" targeted at domestic and international tourists, attracting many visitors from Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia to tour and engage in DIY activities. By using traditional pastry techniques such as "kneading, pressing, and stamping," participants can complete their own delicious handmade pineapple cakes, experiencing a truly handcrafted souvenir. In addition to its existing offerings, the Kuo Yuan Ye Museum of Cake and Pastry regularly hosts various festive theme events, as well as ancient customs like the "First Birthday" celebration and "Catching Week," blending education with tourism to continuously promote traditional pastries, enabling Chinese pastries to stand alongside Western desserts.
