And here we are again, some would say another year older and wiser...we'd like to think another year more experienced in the baking of the perfect Anzac biscuit!!! Welcome to the 2022 Bake!

With two extra days of baking this year compared to last year, 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, the funds raised will assist the continued operation of our programmes and facilities.

2022 is no different to any previous year, 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.

It's Angie's first day of baking for this year too and 
she's started at the end, finishes off the bags 
with a perfectly tied ribbon.



Extra hands! Pam has come in to lend a hand and 
is working in the pantry with Stuart.



While another extra helper, Janine has 
taken a spot at the packing table.



Afternoon...
Angie building butter sculptures!

Stuart is cleaning up some gumnuts ready for threading - 
the hole drilling leaves them a little dusty.

Debbie is filling up the containers ready for tomorrow.



Jennifer adds some ingredients to Bryce.



And with Sam gets Bryce ready to mix while Helen looks on.



Endless rows of balls ready for the oven,

Along with Matthew.

Richard is our all round helper anywhere we need him. 
Today he's gone from packing to this and that when finally 
we've noticed the lunch room needs vacuuming yet! 
Thank you Richard for doing so many of these behind the scenes 
jobs that keep everything running smoothly.


And the tally? Well we're eagerly awaiting to see what that might be today after a steady day, but we've a few bags of biscuits to pack into baskets yet, stay tuned!
