Kuo Yuan Ye Museum of Cake and Pastry, Pastry museum in JiuJia Village, Taiwan
The Kuo Yuan Ye Museum of Cake and Pastry is a collection space in JiuJia Village dedicated to the art of pastry makers. The rooms display ingredients, tools, and the steps of how dough is rolled, filled, and baked to understand the craft from the ground up.

The place offers workshops where visitors can make cakes and filled cookies themselves. These courses follow the old recipes, so everyone can learn the basics of the craft.
The museum uses new technologies like 3D printers to show how old pastry makers can work today. This connection between ancient craft and modern tools shows that tradition does not mean standing still.
