Kuo Yuan Ye Museum of Cake and Pastry Introduction
When it comes to Chinese pastries, one instantly 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. Through hands-on experiences, it also inspires tourists' appreciation of traditional baking. The museum is primarily divided into three major thematic areas: the sightseeing factory, the cake culture hall, and the Green Label Living Hall. Visitors can progress through the sightseeing factory's corridors, learning about the complete manufacturing process of products from mixing, shaping, baking, cooling, packaging to assembly via guided tours. In the cake culture hall, one can see various festive and different types of cake molds, reading the traces of usage to delve into history. In addition to cake molds, there are also scenes from ancient marriage proposals and dressing props, allowing visitors to experience the intricacies and significance of traditional weddings. Furthermore, the "Green Label Living Hall," recognized as a gold-level green building, incorporates modern design to create a comfortable and friendly learning experience space. The exhibition area for Green Label activities can accommodate 120 people, while the DIY area and cake baking zone are open-concept, providing a clean, bright, and safe environment for visitors to craft. With 100% handcrafted pineapple cakes as souvenirs, every experience must leave behind a creation. The fun of the Kuo Yuan Ye Museum of Cake Culture lies in the opportunity to personally experience various production processes, leading to the special planning of the "Nostalgic Pineapple Cake DIY Course" targeting both domestic and international tourists, attracting many visitors from Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia to participate in DIY. By using techniques like "pound, knead, press, and imprint," visitors can complete their own delicious handmade pineapple cakes, gaining a true sense of handcrafted souvenirs. In addition to its regular offerings, the museum also periodically hosts various themed festive activities, as well as traditional ceremonies such as Teething Ceremony and First month Celebration, merging education and tourism to continuously promote Chinese pastries alongside Western desserts.
