Viva thought she'd quietly tie this very last pack
of this year's bake but the phantom blogger found her 😊

And finally soldier Jeremy departed the
homeland for the Council lawns...

Just awaiting the tally now...

And announce the winner of this year's competition too!!!

Thank you very much to everyone who helped make this year's bake a huge success, we really appreciate all of you, whether you helped bake or bought the biscuits!!!

DId someone say free?

 Good morning and welcome to our last day of baking! 

You'll also find us at the kiosk on the Glenorchy City Council lawns today, come and get your Anzacs and have a chat to our bakers 😉

And of course this afternoon after the ovens are turned off, we'll announce the winner of this year's blog competition...

But what happened late yesterday afternoon? We had some visitors, someone must have told them about all these delicious Anzac biscuits being baked!

Come and get them!!!

Check them out!

Delicous, that will keep me going till dinner.

What can I say about today?

 Random answer from around the room: I don't know where it came from...

But we do know where it went!!! Into a great many more biscuits being baked, packed and delivered as orders and second orders continue to come in - wonderful effort everyone, thank you!

Sometimes things don't go to plan...

For instance if Brice is left in overdrive 
and is switched on without realising!

Wooopssss, it was me says Kelly!

More butter please! Louise and Ilter had their work cut out for them.

Josh got busy date writing with Anthony.

While AJ prepared some more bags.

And Ross got some more tray liners ready.

Dagmara and Wayne concentrating on their gumnut threading.

Time for a smile here, Veronica and Jennifer in the dry mix area.

Oh look, she's smiling again!
All cleaned up and forgiven, Kelly is now on oven duty.

Rebecca has attention only for the syrup and butter.

Cheryl adds the bicarb.

Rebecca switches Brice on. Yes, in the right gear!!!
She also opened the gate all by herself -
a very strong magnet holds it closed but she was determined to do it.

Mandeep and Dallas are busy rolling in the kitchen.

And it's a full house in the pantry too. Debbie...

Louise...

Amanda, Rony and Tammy.

Oh oh...another ooooppppssss!
Rebecca enrolled the marker in swimming lessons...
in the jug!!! At least it didn't get baked.

Not even asking what is going on here...
Helen, Dean and Virginia at the packing table.

Dress rehearsal...Anita assisting Layla with gloves.

Sylvia and Sue tying the ribbons.

After lunch butter crew - Wayne, Jennifer and Layla.

Louise and Amanda practising dates.

Veronica and Debbie measuring out more ribbon.

While Kelly and Dean make up some dry mix batches.

Josh was working in the kitchen with Brice this afternoon.

Let us show you how it's done! 

Sue and Ross reckon they've got it down to a fine art.

But Gary and Cherie are doing well too.

Action shot, Rony on oven duty.

That would make this an inaction shot?
What do you mean Anthony, no biscuits to pack?

Luke and Mandeep will change that!

Look at this, Cheryl and her completed 10 ready to pack.

Fast as lightning work here!
Rebecca has perfected the biscuit slide challenge.

And after working in the kitchen Josh even found
some time to do some butter with Sia.

That's it for today folks, last day of baking tomorrow, get your orders in quick if you'd like some more!!!
