Yes, we are back!!! Welcome to the 2021 Bake!

Last year we were ready with a plan - perfectly cooked biscuits flying out the door to be delivered wherever we can.

Whilst unfortunately they didn't get a chance to take off in 2020, our biscuits have proven to be intrepid travellers over the years. With the green light for go they are sure to be all around Hobart and beyond.

We invite you to join us as we bake up a storm for 10 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.

Day 2: orders leaving, supplies replenishing and a lot of baking...

 At 8.30 this morning the first biscuits were in the van and on the road. Ovens were on and preparations were underway for a busy day of baking. Here's how it went:


Jason bringing in more ingredients
to keep us going for the day.



Angie making an early start on the butter.



Debbie dating a few labels ready to go onto the bags.



While Dallas and Sia measure out some more baking paper.



Layla busy cutting them in half to line the trays.



Jesse adding labels to the bags.



Richard measuring and cutting lengths of ribbon.
So many small tasks all needing to be done
to keep the whole process going smoothly!



Louise and Pam in the dry mix corner, 
measuring and counting cup after cup.



Sam stirring the bi-carb,
it's the last ingredient to go into the mix.



And the gates are closed! 
David's first Anzac bake, taking a turn working
with Brice - our trusty kitchen hand.




Jo and Louise rolling in the pantry.



With Jennifer and Rosalie on the other table.



Checking, checking, checking...
Bronte has the ovens under control.



While Bronwyn and Veronica lift the biscuits to cool.



Julie counting out 10 biscuits to pack.



Showing off - Bron counting out 20 biscuit to pack!!!



Here comes another dry mix - Matthew, Louise and Pam.



While Michael demonstrates the scientific art of packing biscuits.
Yes, there's a real art to this to make sure they sit neatly in the bags!



Virginia, Raj and Linda doing quality control and
tying up the bags with ribbon and finished off with a gumnut.



Look at this...ready to go after lunch.



After lunch...David swapping the kitchen for the butter.



Dean, Virginia and Adrita dating bags.



Linda and Stuart preparing more bags.



Michael stirring the dry mix.



Motion blur! Layla hard at work in the kitchen.



Get ready rollers,

We're on to it say Bronwyn and Jesse.



With Debbie's help.

While Angie and Alyson prepare more trays.



Alisha and Pam doing some lifting exercises.

While Wayne has another packet ready to go.



With a flourish! Ange packing another
basket to be delivered this afternoon.

And the final verdict? A good day's baking, watch the tally figure grow in an hour or so when the last biscuits are packed and ready to go.
