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.

Starting afresh

With every biscuit that was baked on Friday packed and gone, today's crew had to start from scratch - good thing they just had a weekend to rest up!



We need butter...now!!!
Matthew starts this week at the butter table.



Along with Laurie, got this down to a fine art.



Wendy and Tammy busy dating bags
after completing a practice sheet.



All systems go at this table! David, Jannie, Wayne and
Rebecca all too busy to smile for the camera.



Garry stirring a dry mix.



Whilst Jennifer refills the containers from the big bins.



Enthusiastic kitchen crew - Shane and Mary
working with Bryce this morning.



Get your Anzacs here! says Jason.



Kitchen rolling crew enjoying a chat while they work,
Gary, Skye and Lorraine.



More rolling! In the pantry there were plenty more trays
being prepared, Kelly and Luke in one corner...



At the other table there were Jordan and Veronica.



And another star roller, Beppi!



Michael lifting the biscuits as Anita looks on.



What's this? Well, the Tearooms still needs aprons.
And they won't get ironed by themselves says Debbie.



Rod hangs out another load of washing.
The washing machine may just be the unsung hero around here!



Orderly...orders, baskets, paperwork and yet
another lot of baskets awaiting delivery.



Afternoon...the crew is thankfully more energetic than
the 140g sign behind them...Anne taking a turn at cutting butter.



Rebecca and Kelly are concentrating on their counting.



And Luke has his attention on
measuring and cutting ribbon.



Cherie with more dated bags for the packing table.



Where would you find such a smiling face
at the task of washing up?
Bronwyn working in the kitchen.



Sia and Wendy are keeping a watchful
eye on the butter and syrup.



Michael and Garry being kept on their toes in the kitchen.



This is how it's done! Mary in the pantry.



Along with equally radiant looking Jannie and Debbie,
must be something in the butter we think!



Two for the price of one...Sia and Bron busy busy busy.



Work placement student Judith joining in the kitchen spirit.



From washing up to more mix, Bronwyn
scooping another batch out of Bryce.



Jordan setting the pace at the lifting table.



Joined by Matthew.



Now here's hard work being done...check out the blur!
Stuart at the packing table concentrating on the job.



Tying the ribbons and making sure everything is just right
are Veronica, Maree and Beppi.



And everyone is very pleased to see these two gentlemen!
Afternoon drinks being delivered by Laurie and Gary.


The building has again grown quiet and everyone has gone home. Don't worry, if you haven't got your biscuits yet, they are coming. And tomorrow we are expecting a special force to boost production...stay tuned!
