Vancouver-Based Jelly Cake Workshop Now Available Online
Great news for jelly cake art enthusiasts everywhere — Qingscake's popular Vancouver-based jelly cake workshops are now fully available online through premium video tutorials. Whether you're in Toronto, New York, London, or anywhere else in the world, you can now learn this stunning art form from one of Canada's top jelly cake instructors.
The Vancouver Story — How Qingscake Began
Qingscake started in 2019 when founder and instructor Vivi discovered 3D jelly art during a trip to Southeast Asia. Captivated by the beauty of flowers suspended in translucent gelatin, she brought the art form back to Vancouver and began teaching from her Richmond, BC studio.
What started as small weekend workshops for friends quickly grew into one of Metro Vancouver's most popular creative experiences. With 100+ students taught and consistent 5-star reviews, Vivi built a reputation for making jelly cake art accessible, fun, and genuinely beautiful — even for people with zero experience.
The transition to online wasn't driven by necessity — it was driven by demand. Students from Toronto, Calgary, and even overseas kept asking: "Can I take your class remotely?" In 2024, Qingscake launched premium online video tutorials, bringing the Vancouver studio experience to learners worldwide.
Why Vancouver Students Love It
Vancouver's jelly cake community has a special connection to Qingscake:
- Local credibility — a real studio in Richmond, BC, not a faceless internet course
- Cultural resonance — Vancouver's diverse Asian community appreciates the Southeast Asian roots of jelly cake art
- Word of mouth — many students discover Qingscake through friends who've attended in-person workshops
- Bilingual instruction — English and Mandarin (中文) reflects Vancouver's multilingual culture
- Community feel — students often return for intermediate workshops and become advocates
Locally Sourced Ingredients
One of Qingscake's advantages is deep knowledge of where to source ingredients locally:
- Konnyaku jelly powder — available at T&T Supermarket, Osaka Supermarket, and Crystal Mall shops in Richmond and Vancouver
- Coconut milk — widely available at any Canadian grocery store
- Food-grade coloring — specialty baking supply stores throughout Metro Vancouver
- Fresh ingredients — local markets for any garnishes or complementary items
For online students outside Vancouver, Qingscake provides detailed sourcing guides for major Canadian cities and international alternatives.
Shipping Within BC
For students in British Columbia, Qingscake offers shipping of specialty tool kits — the same professional-grade needles and sculpting tools used in the studio workshops. This means BC-based online learners get the exact same tools as in-person students, delivered to their door.
