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.

Next lot of orders preparing for take-off

And with many second orders also coming in already (some the day after the first order is delivered!) we are looking at a little night bake next week.

But that's another day, lets take a look at what happened today with a lot of new Friday faces to finish the week.


Luke started the day labelling some of the hundreds of
bags we are using each day at the moment.



Team effort - Karen and Peter are doing the
same at the other end of the table.



And Rebecca takes it from there dating them.



Janine is cutting and weighing butter, 
not sure who sped by behind but whoever,
they were in a hurry to get to the biscuits!



Shane and Rod taking a turn at the butter table also.



Flour alert! There seems to be a constant
puff of it in the air in this corner.
This mix is well stirred by Wayne.



Now, what's this?
Anita and Tony racing each other to stir this mix -
time to get out of here...quickly!
.


Rrrrrrrolling - Laurie and Karen.



Jeremy taking a turn working with Brice.



Suzie is back again and promoted to kitchen.



Swift work here...Sally, Sylvia and Skye at the packing table.



Beppi and Nena - take a bow ladies.



Kelly and Rod are trying to keep up with them on the other side.



And if he's not driving our van, delivering biscuits,
or hauling in more ingredients....
 arriving with the fuel to save the Phantom Blogger's day.
Sorry Geoff, those coffee cups are not big enough to hide behind!


Another large van load full of biscuits departed after lunch for delivery around the Glenorchy area, whilst the busy bakers swapped places. 

Lets see what they got up to before the end of week cleanup - the washing up needs to be seen to be believed and then there's the washing, wiping benches, cleaning floors...


No matter what, we'll need more bags -
if not today, certainly next week.
David, Julie and Shane see to that.



Peter working with Kelly in the dry mix corner.



A companionable scene in the pantry -
Sylvia, Janine and Nena enjoying a chat whilst rolling.



Tony on the way to the ovens with another perfect tray.



Luke and Jonathan in charge of lifting and cooling the biscuits.



Rachel packing with Stephanie's support.



We found it!!! Well spotted Bron, 
the winning biscuit to finish up with for the week.

And with that we leave you for the weekend, but we'll be right back on Monday to do it all again. Look forward to seeing you then.
