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.

SOS - send more helpers!

And sure enough, they arrived, ready to get stuck in and bake up a storm.


Team No. 2, ready to go.



Ollie and Kelly enjoying a chat whilst dating bags.



Garry and John working on more tray liners.



Cleaning and threading the gumnuts, Julie and Rod working together.



Cherie refills the containers.



While Raj and David sift the next batch of flour.



Kitchen operations - Anne and AJ getting another mix out of Bryce.



What's in this mix?! Virginia and Sandra rolling in the pantry.



And what's this lot up to? Tom and Bron showing off the art of rolling.



Nick's got ovens under control.



I've got this! Emily at the lifting table.



What's this? Is this lot on strike?
No, they've worked so hard, they're out of biscuits to pack!
Lorraine, Ash and Gary at the packing table.



Harleen - another bag heading out the door soon.



Sally has brought her son Michael to help for the day.



AJ striking a pose!



Robyn came in to buy biscuits...she got roped in to help.
No, we didn't have to hurt her to do that either!!!



And it's time to swap jobs,
Ash keeping an eye on the 140g whilst AJ cuts.



Another happy table of workers - Tammy, Bronte and Wayne.



Lots of concentration here - Fiona, Rachel and Rebecca.



With a flourish! Louise threading gumnuts.



It's ok Jason, don't look so worried,
we won't ask you to wear one of these.
David doing a good job on the ironing.



Tom and Layla busy with Bryce.



Now she's on the ovens, she's baking her own biscuits entirely!



Anne on a roll.



Veronica, another perfect tray.



Dallas and Harleen rolling in the pantry.



Kely has reason to smile, 10 papers means there
are 10 portions of butter in the pot!


Luke and neat rows of biscuits cooling.



Ollie has moved on to the packing table, along with Nick.



Emily working alongside them.



Cherie tying a neat bow with a little assistance from Sue.



Sandra and Virginia doing the same on the other side.



Getting stuck into their work are Stuart, Rod and Shane.



She might have had to bake them herself,
but Robyn did get the biscuits she came in to buy!


Happiness is...many more orders out the door today and back to the city again tomorrow. See you then!
