Welcome to the 2018 Bake...

As we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Association and the commencement of Aurora Disability Services' day programme back in 1988, we again are ready to bake up a storm. As always the funds raised will assist the continued operation of our programmes and facilities.

So, with a few pearls of 30th anniversary wisdom along the way, this blog will take you through this year's bake.

We wouldn't be able to do this without our many supporters - from the businesses and organisations selling the biscuits for us, suppliers, volunteers; and of course all our loyal customers who return year after year to buy our biscuits (we hope you are enjoying some as you check out our blog!) - a big thank you to all of you.

If you would like a basket of biscuits for your business to sell, please email us at
auroradisability@auroradisability.org.au or call us on 6273 0916.

It has begun!

As the aroma of Anzac biscuits starts to waft around the building, all of Glenorchy will soon know what we are up to...

For many this year is their first ever Anzac bake but after the training session we're thinking we've got this!


Part of the training is how to prepare for baking... 
But wait, what is this???



And what's more, she's oblivious of her appearance! Hair all over the place, chewing gum, talking on her mobile phone which looks like it may fall into a bowl of mix at any moment, loads of jewellery, no enclosed footwear. This is going to be hard work people...


Oh, now would you look at that! 
With a little training Anita is ready for baking too.



Time to get serious...140g butter per portion, no more no less.
Cherie and Michael cutting and weiging.



Wayne and new volunteer Bryce inserting the
Anzac slips and adding labels to the bags.



First bake for Allacia also, working with Bronwyn
measuring ribbon and threading gumnuts.



Dry mix preparation, David, Kelly and Layla
have got it well under control by the looks of this.



Tahnee has her first ever shift on the ovens.



If the biscuits are as tasty as this lot is happy, everyone will be happy!
Gary, Anita and Sia.



No escape! Kari tried but didn't get away.
She's forgiven as she also is new to this.



Full Anzac incubators!



Sam, Debbie, Joy and Lorraine
preparing all the ingredients to be mixed.



Another graduate of today's training course,
Jannie with Dallas threading gumnuts.


No tally update tonight folks, but see you all tomorrow!
