reporter Li Xinrong/Taipei report
Pan Yi'an and his wife Vivian held wedding banquets in Kaohsiung and Grand Hyatt Taipei on October 18 and November 1. The couple did not find a wedding company and all came by themselves. The wedding cakes do not pretend to be the hands of others. They even try to make wedding cakes in advance, and they understand the raw materials and production process before choosing a traditional cake shop. They are called "the busiest newcomers."

Pan Yian has liked things with the "old atmosphere" since he was a child. He insisted on having traditional cakes for wedding cakes. He parked an old Vespa at his home in Kaohsiung, and he returned home every Chinese New Year. Asked his father, "This station let me take it back to Taipei for renovation." But every time he was shot by his father for not wasting money, he explained, "I am not a fake man! I just like things with a taste of history!" To relieve the nostalgia addiction, I saved 25,000 yuan and bought a second-hand gear locomotive. Unexpectedly, he suffered a lot. "There is no compartment and no storage space. Every time I refuel, I have to add engine oil. The maintenance fee is also very expensive. Very troublesome." He woke up in less than 2 months and sold the car.

Others get married and try dishes and wedding dresses, but Pan Yi'an even tries to make wedding cakes. "The Chinese wedding cakes my parents brought back when I was young were usually finished with my dad. That kind of father-son time is a precious memory, so I wanted to try making wedding cakes and let my dad eat it.”
thought it was simple, but when it came to the production site, I was dumbfounded when I saw the two tables full of ingredients. , Bite the bullet starting from kneading the dough, it took 2 hours to finish. He admired the bakery master, "He has a special skill in the art industry, and the master easily packs one, but I make it like a dog." Finally, they produced 20 finished products for their parents to taste. The two elders gave thumbs up. Satisfied, he was relieved.

In addition to traditional cakes, Pan Yi'an and his wife hope to combine the wedding banquet with public welfare to give back to the society. In addition, they choose Xihaner wedding cakes as gifts to guests. He said that he will never forget the impact of his first visit to the store. And moved.
During the visit, a clerk bit his ear at the social worker whispering, and from time to time he aimed at Pan Yi'an. Seeing Pan Yi'an full of question marks, the social worker explained with a smile, "She recognized you and wanted to take pictures with you, but she didn't dare." Upon seeing this, Pan Yian hurriedly called everyone to take a group photo, amused the shop assistants.
Pan Yi'an confided afterwards, "I used to have a stereotype about Xihan'er. This time I interacted with them at close range and discovered that because of their focus, some of their skills are even better than us." He also hopes that through himself, he can be good at public welfare. Pass it on to everyone.
