Day 1 - Are we ready? Yes we are!

 And the biscuit tally is...

690

Today we baked 690 biscuits, but not until the training session was complete of course.

How do you bake the perfect Anzac biscuit?

These people can tell you.

Time to start putting it in practice,
all eyes on the dry mix.

Not much longer will it be quiet in the kitchen...

But the trays are ready and waiting.

And then it began in earnest,
Michael weighing the cut portions of butter.

While Matthew packed them
ready to store until needed.

First motion blur of the bake,
Cherie busy at the butter table also.

Meanwhile Michael and Dean prepared the cello bags.

Beneath our radiant Southern Cross
Julie and Heather measured and cut tray liners.

Many metres of baking paper go into an Anzac Bake!

Teamwork - Anne and Adrita.

And it's official - Luke and Kelly with
the first biscuits out of the oven.

Soon they stretched as far as the eye could see.

While in the kitchen Mary and Alyson
rolled the next lot for the ovens.

AJ showing a perfect looking tray.

Debbie and Louise said our job is done for the day.

And that means...the washing up starts!

Ross, Mary and Shane sorting out today's sticky situation.

Packing twins Alisha and Rebecca - is this coincidence 
or an example of incredible co-ordination?

And here they are...the first five packets of many.

See you all tomorrow when we bake from morning, noon to night and watch that tally climb!
