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 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...
