March 6, 2026

Choosing between a private jelly cake class and a group workshop? This guide compares both formats — pricing, learning pace, and ideal use cases — so you can pick the right one.

Quick Comparison: Private vs Group Jelly Cake Class

When to Choose a Private Jelly Cake Class

A private class is ideal if you want:

• Personalized instruction: The instructor adapts to your skill level and learning style in real time • Custom designs: Choose exactly what you want to create — your favourite flower, a specific colour palette, or a design for a special occasion • Flexible scheduling: Book a date and time that works for you, rather than waiting for the next scheduled workshop • Faster progression: Move at your own pace without waiting for other students • Special celebrations: Perfect for birthday parties, bridal showers, team building events, or hen's parties

Private Class Pricing at Qingscake:

• 1-on-1 session: $188 CAD per person • Small group (2-4 friends): $188 CAD per person • Corporate/team building: Custom pricing based on group size

When to Choose a Group Jelly Cake Workshop

A group workshop is perfect if you want:

• Social atmosphere: Meet other jelly cake enthusiasts and share the creative experience • Lower cost: Group workshops are more affordable per person • Structured learning: Follow a proven curriculum designed to build skills step by step • No planning needed: Just show up on the scheduled date — everything is prepared for you • Beginner-friendly environment: Learn alongside other beginners, so there's no pressure to be perfect

Group Workshop Pricing at Qingscake:

• Beginner workshop: $138 CAD per person • Intermediate workshop: $168 CAD per person • All materials and tools included in both

Which Format for Team Building?

Jelly cake classes have become a popular team building activity in Toronto and the GTA. Here's how the formats compare for corporate groups:

Private team building session:

• Exclusive venue for your team • Customized difficulty level • Team can work on a collaborative project • Flexible scheduling around work hours • Ideal for groups of 6-20 people

Group workshop for team building:

• Join an existing workshop • Lower budget option • Works for smaller teams (2-5 people) • Fixed schedule • Great for casual team outings

For Beginners: Which Should You Start With?

If you've never made a jelly cake before, both formats work well for beginners. Here's our recommendation:

• Choose group if you want a low-pressure introduction at a lower price point • Choose private if you learn better with individual attention or want to cover more ground in one session

Most students start with a group beginner workshop and then book a private session when they want to advance to more complex designs.
