Kuo Yuan Ye Museum of Cake and Pastry Introduction
When it comes to traditional cakes, one immediately thinks of the wedding cakes. The Kuo Yuan Ye Museum of Cake and Pastry houses a collection of artifacts related to traditional cake culture and marriage customs, allowing visitors to gain insight into cake culture and, through hands-on activities, enhancing their understanding of traditional baking. The museum is primarily divided into three main thematic areas: the tourist factory, the cake culture hall, and the Green Mark Lifestyle Hall. Visitors can get a step-by-step understanding of the complete manufacturing process — from mixing, shaping, baking, cooling, packaging, to assembling products — through a guided tour of the tourist factory walkway. In the cake culture hall, various festive occasions and different types of cake molds are displayed, revealing historical traces from the use of these molds. In addition to cake molds, there are ancient scenes of marriage proposal ceremonies and costume props, allowing visitors to experience the importance and intricacies of traditional weddings. Furthermore, the "Green Mark Lifestyle Hall," certified as a Gold-level green building, integrates modern design to create a comfortable and friendly learning space. The exhibition area teaches activities where classrooms can accommodate 120 people, and both the DIY handmade area and cake baking area are open, ensuring a clean, bright, and safe environment for visitors to craft. The handmade pineapple cake is a must-try, and every experience leaves a product behind. The interesting part of the Kuo Yuan Ye Museum of Cake and Pastry is that visitors can personally experience the process of making various products. Therefore, Kuo Yuan Ye has specifically planned a "Nostalgic Pineapple Cake DIY Course" targeting both domestic and international tourists, attracting many visitors from Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia, who come to visit and enjoy DIY experiences. Through the cake-making techniques of "knead, roll, press, and stamp," participants can create their own delicious handmade pineapple cakes, experiencing a 100% DIY souvenir. The Kuo Yuan Ye Museum of Cake and Pastry not only maintains existing content but also regularly hosts various themed activities and traditional ceremonies such as the "first month celebration" and "grasping the week," blending education and tourism to continuously promote traditional cakes, allowing Chinese pastries to stand alongside Western desserts.
