Welcome to the 2019 Bake...

Last year we celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Association and the commencement of Aurora Disability Services' day programme.

This year, as we are looking towards the future we'll also be exploring the past on this blog - both the history associated with the Anzac tradition and Aurora.

So please join us as we again bake up a storm for 13 days. As always the funds raised will assist the continued operation of our programmes and facilities.


And of course 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.

Rolling...

With a whole lot of fresh faces!


Bags are on the way - Kelly and Rod.



Jeremy enjoying a chat and laugh with workmates
while threading gumnuts.



Bill assists Michael with cutting ribbon to the exact length.



Tony is concentrating hard on threading gumnuts.



Stirring, stirring and more stirring,
Virginia with another dry mix.



While Rebecca measures out more sugar.



Tammy gets a little help with counting the bicarb.



Luke adding dry mix to Bryce ready for the next batch.



Stars of the kitchen, Anne, Dallas and Sue.



And in the pantry it's rolling along very nicely...
Sally and David showing how it's done.



Head in the oven but Sia still has time for a smile.



Jonathan warming up to the task of lifting.



AJ and Skye got packing down to a fine art.



This is how it's done says Beppi!



Peter and Kelly folding baking paper to size for tray liners.



Sylvia labeling some more bags reading for the afternoon.



Tom practising writing the dates.



Julie  inserting the information slips.



Friday afternoons are usually filled with more relaxed activities...
not today! More butter is needed and
Susan and Jennifer are up to the task.



Assisted by Sia and Josh.



Wayne passing the labels to Bill.



Jonathan assisting Rod with cutting the ends of the ribbons.



Counting on it! Tom, Dallas and Sue in the dry mix corner.



While Tony stirs another batch.



Kelly and Jeremy taking a turn working with Bryce.



Rodney, Emma and Adrita have
taken over from the morning crew.



Synchronised laughing...
Rebecca and Tammy keeping up the pace.



Sylvia starting a new tray on the other side.



Jeremy and Beppi - teamwork!



Adrita with a perfectly baked tray fresh from the oven.



Peter is spending some time counting and packing
under Anita's watchful eye.



Sally with the finished product, ready to be packed and delivered.



More ingredients!!!
Yes, we've just about used up all of last week's delivery.



Now, remember what happened last week?



But look at this - a new lease on life
with a fresh set of wheels!


And no doubt those wheels will earn their keep! That's it for week one folks, see you all next week. A very good start to this year's bake and orders (and even second orders!) are coming in steadily. We think we might do some more baking next week!
