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.

Burning up the tally board

Back again...with a fresh lot of Vodafone helpers we cut and weighed, measured and sifted, mixed, rolled, baked, lifted, packed and with a flourish applied a ribbon and gumnut before sending them on their way!


Welcome folks!



Alison and Jennifer, cutting, weighing and wrapping the butter.



Hard workers here, Cherie, David and Melanie.



Virginia adding labels to the bags with Rosie's support.



Wayne enjoys the challenge of threading the gumnuts
with Vim's assistance.



This is where the desiccated coconut nearly became
the decimated coconut as the paparazzi had to
climb over the bins to get this shot of Tammy
stirring the dry mix...



Mobbed for the mix...



Garry and Corrinn rolling in the pantry now the threat has eased.



Viva and Tyson on the other side whilst Bron provided
a shoulder...not to cry on, but to balance the
camera from yet another odd angle.



Our job's done...No it's not!!!
Another mix on the way for Viva and Maree.



Aiden's bringing more biscuits from the kitchen to cool.



Stephanie and Emily at the lifting table.



Plenty of biscuits to pack today...Kyle and Rowena.



AJ and Dallas.



More packers? How many can we fit at this table?
Angela, Cherie and Gary.



Fiona and Sue finishing off the bags whilst in the
background order packing continues.



Reject!!!
Not sure what happened here but this one is given a red card.


No red cards allowed this afternoon, we still have plenty of orders to fill and lots of second orders coming in!


Rowena's at the butter table for the afternoon.



With Cherie and Garry on the other side.



Lorraine practises writing dates with a
little help from Corrinn when needed.



Rachel worked at the Tearooms this morning and has
come back this afternoon to do some gumnut threading with Joy.



Dallas and Angela working with Brice.



Kyle rolling in the kitchen.



This pantry never rests...Emily and AJ on one side.



Veronique and Jennifer on the other.



Luke and Melanie at the lifting table.



Aiden has moved to the packing table.



Louise showing a perfectly packed bag of biscuits.



Alison adds bow tying to her resume.


And that's it for today, ovens were turned off at 3 but tomorrow we do it all again!
