We're ready to bake...
But instead of cutting a ribbon,
lets thread it...through a gumnut!

Preparation and ordering of supplies has been underway for some time now. 2019's total of 38,350 biscuits saw us use rougly 350kg butter, 360kg flour, 525kg sugar, 220kg rolled oats, 205kg cocunut, and just over a 100kg golden syrup. Add a couple of litres of vanilla essence; and taking things with a grain of salt, add about half a kg of that too.
Then there's the baking paper to line the trays - a few hundred metres of it in fact. Cello bags to pack the biscuits, and labels, inserts, ribbon and gumnuts with holes pre-drilled (spare a thought for those who have been doing that job!). Hats, aprons and gloves and lets not forget batteries to power the scales used to measure out the butter portions.
And the whole building needs to be transformed also - workstations set up, the kitchen prepared for non stop baking...
But with all that completed before the easter break, we're ready to get underway. 2021: Ready...set...bake!!!
First delivery arriving...this is what hard work looks like!
