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.

Day one done!

We can't start a Bake without a training session...but after that it was serious business as the photos will prove. Who will be lucky enough to get the first batch of biscuits this year? We'll find out tomorrow.


For quite a few people here today this will be 
their first ever Aurora Anzac Bake...



Ilter, Rebecca, Michael and Matthew were too busy 
to even notice their photo being taken!
140g butter per portion, not a gram more or less, 
makes the perfect biscuit.



Julie and Heather dating some bags.



Action shot! Laurie, Dean and Rony
adding labels to bags and cutting the 
next lot of baking paper to line the trays.


David and Wayne threading gumnuts.



Virginia and Pam on the other side doing the same.
This is a non-stop task to keep the packers happy.



Sam measuring out a batch of dry ingredients.
Counting to 10 takes on a whole new meaning around here.



Stuart sifting the flour.



Natasha has taken first turn mixing all the ingredients.
Melting the butter and syrup is part of that task.



Tom, Alyson and Ross rolling in the kitchen.



Georgia, Viva and Veronica making time 
for a photo in the pantry.



Debbie has joined Georgia and Veronica.



As has AJ...



Two ovens full says Kelly, we're underway folks.



Blink and it's changed, now Viva and Helen 
are taking care of the ovens.
Throughout the Bake each of our ovens will be 
full of trays (12 per oven) constantly.



Luke and Bjorn are lifting the biscuits onto racks to cool them.



While Alisha and Gary count and pack.



What's this? Don't say we're missing a baker?!
Packed biscuits ready to be sealed with a ribbon and gumnut.

Tomorrow we'll be starting early, see you then!
