Kuo Yuan Ye Cake Museum Introduction
When it comes to traditional pastries, one immediately thinks of the wedding cake. The Kuo Yuan Ye Museum of Cake Culture houses artifacts related to traditional pastry culture and wedding customs, allowing visitors to understand the pastry culture better. Through hands-on experiences, it also enhances visitors' knowledge of traditional baking. The museum is mainly divided into three major themed areas: the tourist factory, the pastry culture hall, and the Green Mark Living Hall. Visitors can progress through the tourist factory via guided tours, learning about the entire manufacturing process from mixing, molding, baking, cooling, packaging, to assembly. In the pastry culture hall, one can see various festive items and different types of pastry molds, uncovering the history through the marks left by the molds. In addition to the molds, there are ancient matchmaking scene replicas and costumes for visitors to experience the intricacies and importance of traditional weddings. Furthermore, the "Green Mark Living Hall," which has received a gold-level green building certification, incorporates modern design to create a comfortable and friendly learning environment. The exhibition area in the hall can accommodate up to 120 people for educational activities. The DIY area and pastry baking zone are both open, providing a clean, bright, and safe environment for hands-on experiences. Visitors can create their own pineapple cakes, which are 100% handmade gifts. The interesting aspect of the Kuo Yuan Ye Museum of Cake Culture is the opportunity to personally experience various product-making processes. Therefore, Kuo Yuan Ye has specially planned "Nostalgic Pineapple Cake DIY Classes" for domestic and international visitors, attracting many guests from Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia to visit and DIY. By utilizing pastry techniques such as "kneading, pressing, and printing," participants can create their delicious handmade pineapple cakes, experiencing a completely handmade gift. In addition to its existing content, the Kuo Yuan Ye Museum of Cake Culture regularly hosts various festive-themed events and ancient rituals such as the "first birthday ceremony" and "catching the week," combining education and tourism to promote the traditional pastries, ensuring that Chinese pastries can stand alongside Western desserts.
