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 4 - The smell of Anzacs is in the air

And the biscuit tally is...

11,840


Today we baked a whopping 4,400 biscuits, with the overall tally soaring past the 10,000. We saw some new faces, as well as some who have helped us over many years and bakes. Please join us on a little tour of the day...



Rebecca and Robyn building a 
butter sculpture.



Should we keep baking or create artworks?
Our customers are the judge!



That all important 140g...totally focused 
on the task are Mellany and Anna.



Sia and Xavier preparing the bags, 
Xavier's got those labels perfectly straight.



But what's going on around them? Empty tables?
No problem says Sia, we've got this!



Taylah and Heather carefully measuring out 
the 10 cups per mix.



AJ stirring another one bound for the kitchen.



Jennifer and Cheryl making sure the 
right amount of bicarb is going in.



Rolling in the kitchen are Luke, Josh and Alyson.


The pantry crew's got a cracking pace going too,
Therese and Wayne in one corner...



Emma, Dimil and Dean in the other.



Biscuits as far as we can see, Pam and Cherie
lifting them on racks to cool before packing.



Fast and furious, Jordan and David.



And they're just as eager on the other side, 
Dallas and Louise counting and packing.



Julie brings the finished bags 
over for packing in baskets.



Changing of the guard - Brenda has volunteered 
at Aurora for many years and though retired 
from the Tearooms, she's come in to help today.



Counting packets of biscuits instead of dollars and 
statistics, Angelique has put the finishing touches to 
every order for many, many years!



Time to swap jobs...Xavier and Dimil prepare 
for work at the butter table.



Cut, weigh and wrap!

And so as we come to the end of another day we can see the hard work of everyone is paying off and orders are flying out the door as well as new and second ones flying in!!! Rest assured, we'll keep baking till we've filled them all, see you again tomorrow 😊
