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.

A trail of biscuits...

Biscuits, biscuits and more biscuits - enough for modern day Hansels and Gretels to make their way home! Family and friends anxiously waiting for their biscuits, rest assured, we may have lots of orders to fill, but we haven't forgotten you.



Cherie preparing for the day - apron, hat, 
checking her hair is all covered.



Teamwork - Sam helping Laurie tie up his apron.



And more teamwork, Beppi and Layla
giving the work area a quick tidy up. 



AJ and Tahnee threading gumnuts and measuring ribbon.



Ready, set, go, Laurie at the butter table.



Unstoppable! Louise on the other side.



Building up muscle tone in the dry mix area,
Virginia and Eric stirring kilo after kilo of mix.



Shane giving Brice a few words of encouragement
as Jennifer prepares the next lot of butter.



Cherie learning how to open the safety covers and
add some more ingredients.



And Josh getting another butter mix ready.



Doing my best says Brice! Where would we be without him?
Well we know where, because we used to do all this by
hand before he arrived on our doorstep!



Josh and Cherie working together.



You want Anzacs? We've got them!!! 
Perfect score for Helen and Jason.



Karen's caught red-handed!
But by the looks of it these biscuits taste pretty good.



Family portrait - Jennifer's sister Sally (back) and nephew
Michael have joined us for the morning to help.



Work placement student Jordan lifting biscuits to cool,



Sylvia and Debbie - perfect bows ladies, well done!



Madame la Presidente of the association's
Committee of Management...
Di has been with Aurora for many years and
could probably do this job in her sleep!


OK folks, time to swap places for the afternoon...


Next van load going out, heading into the city
this afternoon for the first of several trips. 



Stephanie and Lynette at the butter table.



Don't look at me says Anita,
Jennifer is the hard worker on this side.



More bags please...Julie, Karen and Jennifer are on to it.



Veronique, Debbie and Laurie preparing some more dry mix.



Sylvia and Rebecca holding the fort in the kitchen.



Team AJ and Tammy on one side of the pantry.



Fiona and Rebecca speed rolling on the other side.



Kelly and Jennifer at the ovens.



Another family portrait, Josh's father Kelvin
popped in to see how the bake is going.



Juley, Angela and Layla have got packing down to a fine art.



Whilst behind them Bronwyn, Eric and Suzie are finishing
off the bags with a ribbon and gumnut.



Ready to go they are!

More biscuits ready to deliver tomorrow, and that's a promise...
good night all!
