Day 12 - Meet the experts!

And the biscuit tally is...
49,940

Today we baked another 4,810 biscuits, bringing us close to 50,000 biscuits as we fill more orders and prepare for a final crew at the Cherry Hut tomorrow.

Now, last week there was a question - how many ingredients have we used? As of late Monday afternoon, that would be an astonishing 2 tonnes!!! Made up of :

238kg Coconut, 570kg Sugar, 390kg Plain Flour, 240kg Rolled Oats, 416kg Butter, 108kg Golden Syrup, 6kg Bicarb and 2L Vanilla Essence. A total of 1970kg of ingredients brought in, passed through all the stations, packed and delivered! Added to that is the 1000's of cello bags, around 2.5 kilometres of ribbon and a few other bits and pieces...

Straight to the bags today, we're right for butter

for the time being...
