Guo Yuan Yi Bakery Museum Introduction
When it comes to traditional wedding cakes, the first thought that comes to mind is the wedding cake for engagement ceremonies. The Kuo Yuan Ye Museum of Cake Culture houses artifacts related to traditional cake culture and wedding customs, allowing visitors to understand cake culture and, through hands-on activities, enhance their appreciation of traditional baking. The museum is divided into three main thematic areas: the Tourist Factory, Cake Culture Hall, and Green Label Living Hall. Visitors gradually learn about the complete manufacturing process of products—from mixing, shaping, baking, cooling, packaging, to assembly—through guided tours in the Tourist Factory. In the Cake Culture Hall, various festive occasions and different types of cake molds can be seen, offering insights into historical uses based on the traces left behind by these molds. In addition to the cake molds, there are scenes of ancient marriage proposals and costume props, allowing visitors to experience the intricacies and significance of traditional weddings. Moreover, the "Green Label Living Hall," which has received a gold-level green building certification, integrates modern design to create a comfortable and friendly learning environment. The exhibition area and teaching activity zone can accommodate up to 120 people, with DIY crafting areas and a baking section designed as open spaces, providing visitors with a clean, bright, and safe environment for hands-on activities. Participants can experience making pineapple cakes, which are 100% hand-made gifts, and the interesting part of the Kuo Yuan Ye Museum of Cake Culture is the hands-on experience of various product-making processes. To attract both domestic and international tourists, Kuo Yuan Ye has specifically planned a "Nostalgic Pineapple Cake DIY Course," drawing many visitors from Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia to participate and create their own delicious handmade pineapple cakes by engaging in traditional cake-making techniques such as "kneading, pressing, and stamping," resulting in their very own handmade gifts. In addition to its existing offerings, the Kuo Yuan Ye Museum regularly hosts various festive theme activities and traditional ceremonies, such as the "reception of salivation" and "first birthday," merging education with tourism to promote traditional Chinese cake and allow it to stand alongside Western desserts.
