Welcome to...2024, 36 years of continuous service to our community!

From the first biscuit baked to raise funds for the organisation, the tradition has continued and assists the organisation to provide programmes, services and support to many and maintain the organisation's facilities.

With 13 days of baking this year from 8 to 24 April, we are ready to bake and deliver our delicious golden biscuits far and wide.

We invite all the readers of our blog to join us again this year.

As always, we would not be able to successfully hold an Anzac Bake 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 10 - The total is not the only thing that's running...

And the biscuit tally is...

41,340


Today we only baked 5,340 biscuits... Wait a minute, only? That's another new daily record and we passed last year's total in the bargain!

We'll be at the Cherry Hut again over the weekend, so if you're passing through Granton either Saturday or Sunday, look out for us and stop for a packet or two of delicious golden biscuits. Now let's take a look at today's baking...



Laurie started on the butter sculptures for the day.



Along with Viva and Tony.



Dean and Naomi prepared and dated bags.



Whilst Julie and Pam added 
some labels to the next lot.



Rod and Sia stirring a mix ready for the kitchen,



Refilling the containers for the next mix
is Gary.



And to the kitchen it goes!



Where Ilter and Joy assist Jennifer to carefully 
pour the boiling water to the correct level.



It might be Day 10 but there's still plenty 
of smiles, Georgia working with Bryce.



Jeremy has a tray ready for the oven.



Rolling, rolling, rolling, nearly ready says Cherie.



Garry, Maree and Hayley got theirs done.



And here's another one says David.
Ovens keep baking!



And after they've rolled out of the oven and 
cooled they're ready to lift. 
Shane's doing that job this morning.



Then it's packing, 10 to a bag, and not just any way,
there's a real technique to this too which 
Steph and Michael have got down to a fine art.



Damian and Dallas making it look easy on the 
other side of the table.



Emma takes a turn tying the ribbons 
while in the background Angelique does a little 
basket maintenance before packing the next order.



You thought they'd escaped our attention today?
No they didn't! Today's Aurora Energy volunteers
might have been small in number but they 
worked like troopers to help us with all those biscuits.
Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!


Now we're all cleaned up and ready to hang up the aprons for the weekend, but we'll be back next week for a few more days of baking. Can we beat last year's tally has been the question... There's a good chance of it, but no matter what the final number, each biscuit has been created with the same amount of care and enthusiasm by our amazing team! See you next week 😊
