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 2 - Watch out, we are full steam ahead

And the biscuit tally is...

3,870


Today we baked 3,180 biscuits. Ovens were woken up extremely early (too early for the Phantom Blogger to get a picture of them still yawning). We were joined by a wonderful group of volunteers from Aurora Energy to help us along. Here's what happened... 



Welcome Aurora Energy volunteers!



Dean and Viva cutting butter.



A busy table, Zakki and Michael 
cutting and weighing butter also.



Taylah's first Anzac Bake, learning the ropes with Sia.



Practising date writing and preparing bags - 
Jordan, Gary and Gail.



Ella is putting the labels on the bags 
whilst Adrita cuts some more tray liners.



An all Aurora table at Aurora... Brady, Sam and Anthony 
measuring ribbon and threading gumnuts.



The three amigos in the dry mix corner, 
Stuart Michael and Veronica.



Assisted by volunteer Lachlan.



Really, coming to Aurora is like home...
there's always ironing to be done!
Sergia and Gee were happy to assist.



David carefully measuring the boiling water for the bicarb.



Whilst Dallas unwraps the butter portions for the next mix.



Richard, Jacynta and Natasha are rolling in the kitchen.



So are Saroj and Laurie, except they're in the pantry.



Along with Matthew and Amy.



Ross and Zane were making a start on the heavy lifting.



The packing table is a hive of activity - 
Mel, Jennifer and Raj on one side...



Julie and Clara on the other.



And last but not least, no packet of Anzacs is 
complete without a ribbon and gumnut. 
Kelly showing how it's done.

And so the first serious delivery of orders happened today but if you weren't in the lucky first, don't worry, we will get to you very soon, that's a promise! See you all tomorrow 😊
