Introduction

Welcome to this comprehensive aiMOOC about Walt’s Backhaus — a small, deeply personal Home-Bakery based in Camden & Islington (London). The website waltsbackhaus.com presents not just a product range but also the story of a baker with a strong sense of care and community: Cakes ★ Care ★ Community. You will explore the origin story, the signature Cupcake-Bouquets and custom cakes, the pricing and ordering logic, local delivery scope, the visual language of the gallery, the blog’s storytelling, and how contact and policies are arranged. This MOOC includes interactive elements (quiz, memory, drag & drop, crossword, cloze), open tasks, and a learning check so you can apply what you learn.

Background: Who is behind Walt’s Backhaus?

On the About page, Walt’s Backhaus is introduced as a Home-Bakery run by Walt Utz, a foster father from Islington. Two roots shaped the bakery:

1. Baking tradition from his South German family background and what he learned from his mother.
2. Foster family work in which baking with children builds relationships, trust, responsibility, and positive experiences.

Walt explicitly sees his Backhaus not only as a place for sweets but as a social project: food should bring people together and “nourish the soul.” The bakery is registered in the London Borough of Islington as a home-based catering business (category “Other catering premises”) with strong hygiene and cleanliness evaluations (see Food Standards Agency).

Homepage: Boutique bakery positioning

The homepage greets you with “Herzlich willkommen to Walt’s Backhaus!” and explains the name Backhaus (with phonetic hint “bak-howz”), signaling the German–English identity. Core messages:

1. Specialisation in Cupcake-Bouquets that look like real flower bouquets.
2. Complemented by Seasonal Treats, cookie mixes, Oktoberfest specials, and Celebration Cakes.
3. Local focus on Camden & Islington with same-day delivery notes (when feasible) and clear calls to order.
4. Visible reputation: embedded Google reviews (about 38–39) describing “edible works of art,” praising detail and taste.

The Signature: Cupcake-Bouquets

Product idea

Cupcake-bouquets are the red thread of the site:

1. Cupcakes are piped with buttercream to create intricate flowers (e.g., roses, dahlias, sunflowers, protea).
2. They are arranged as full “bouquets,” often wrapped in tissue and florist-style paper.
3. Sizes are clearly defined: 7, 12, 19, or 24 cupcakes.
4. Price range: 35–120 £ depending on size and arrangement.

Flavours & ordering

In the Cupcake Bouquets product you can:

1. choose size (7/12/19/24),
2. choose sponge/flavour (e.g., Vanilla Sponge, Chocolate Fudge, Carrot, Red Velvet, Peanut Butter),
3. choose a date (at least 7 days lead time) and decide on Pick-up or Delivery.

Delivery is explicitly local: Camden & Islington with a list of eligible London postcodes (primarily N-, NW-, EC-, WC- areas). This underscores a high-craft, community-first model rather than mass shipping.

“Reality vs Illusion”

The homepage highlights “Real Bouquet vs Cupcake Bouquet”: real flower bunches are juxtaposed with edible bouquets so closely that you do a double take. The aim is to deliver taste, surprise, and the delight of illusion.

Typical pricing: around 3.50 £ per 150 g bag and tiered mixed-box prices (e.g., 10/20/35 £).

3. Rum Truffles (alcohol-free selection: milk, white, cappuccino, dark; ~450 g; suitable for post).
4. Oktoberfest Hearts — handmade Lebkuchenherzen with Bavarian sayings.

Gallery: Edible art

The dedicated Cupcake Gallery functions as a portfolio of “edible art”:

1. Themed sets (e.g., “Summer Vibe,” “Purple Rain,” “Hello Autumn,” “Tribute to South Africa — Protea Bouquet”).
2. Wide colour palettes from soft pastels to bold autumn hues.
3. Precision buttercream piping (roses, dahlias, protea, sunflowers, and more).

Taken together, the gallery positions Walt’s Backhaus closer to confectionery art than “just” a bakery.

Blog: Storytelling & recipe content

The blog deepens trust and tells the brand story:

1. Authentic German Bee Sting Cake (May 2024) — background and recipe-teaser for Bienenstich.
2. Pumpkin Cupcakes: A Delicious & Festive Treat for Bonfire Night (Oct. 2023).
3. Birthday Coffee Cake — simple yet special for birthdays.
4. Unveiling Walt’s Backhaus: Our Mission and Vision — compassion, creativity, community (“touch lives with every treat we create”).
