I just wanted to let you all know that tomorrow is the big day.
In the morning my mom and I are going into surgery.
It’s finally here and we are both ready.
I can’t wait to be through with dialysis. Actually, if all goes as planned, tonight was my last treatment. Giant Yay! Sprinkled with cartwheels! Yay. Yay. Yay.
I am sorry that these past several weeks have been boring around here. But, I’m excited just thinking about feeling good again, so it won’t be boring for too much longer.
Thank you all for your concern, for your wonderful emails, for your patience, and your prayers. I really appreciate all of it.
My mom wanted to thank you, too.
From my mom……
P.S. I’ll try to let you know how we are doing through twitter. Big hugs.
UPDATE: The surgery went fantastic. The doctors couldn’t be happier with how we are both doing. My mom’s kidney started working right away which they don’t always do. Sometimes it takes a little while for everything to kick in. It was doing so well that I was also able to have the dialysis catheter removed before I came home. Thank goodness. I couldn’t wait to have that thing taken out. I’m home now recovering and so is my mom. She’s doing great, too. We are just both very sore. You know, when I had my first kidney transplant almost 19 years ago, I stayed in the hospital for almost two weeks. But this time I came home after four days. Just amazing. It’s really good to be home. Anyway, I just wanted to give you a quick update. Thank you all again for leaving such wonderful messages. We’ve both enjoyed reading them and it’s made the last few days even brighter.
So glad to hear that you’re doing well! You bring such joy through your website and it sounds like you’re pretty cool in person too. I get the feeling that you’re probably too modest to even think it, but I believe that by making your issue public, you’ve done a great service to others who are waiting for a match. Best wishes to you for the future.
So happy to hear that the surgery went well – and that recovery is going well, too! You touch so many bakers with your wonderful outlook on life!
Thank you Jesus, for taking such good care of these two special women!!!!!! So, thankful everything went well!!!!!!

I haven’t received an Email from bakerella in a very long time. So sorry to hear of your illness, thrilled as a mother, for your mother and her ability to help you. As mothers we always want to help but are not always able.
I pray that God will continue, with His Blessed Mother, to heal you both to full recovery.
Please reply via e-mail if that is better for you.In fact, you don’t even need to publish this comnent, because of it’s personal nature unless you feel so led.
Questions: Were you on PD? Is that the catheter you were referring to that they removed?
Did your Mom have the surgery done lapriscopilly(sp?) ? Would she be able to e-mail my niece who is donating me a kidney? So much has changed since my last one.
This willl be (PTL) my fourth kidney transplant over a period of 40 years and intermitent dialysis. The other three donors were siblings.
Such sacrifice and love. None greater, except that from Jesus.
New Update, Please! Were you on PD? Is that the catheter removal you were referring to? Did your Mom have it done lapriscopically?
Curious because I m awaiting another transplant myself. This one from my niece.
I’m praying for both your recoveries. YO may e- mail me privately if that is better for you.
Dear Angie and mom:
I hope and pray that you both are fully recovered.
Brenda Tarr
Angie, I’m so glad the surgery was a success, and that both you and your mom are on the mend. I can’t imagine going through what you have endured, but you have done it gracefully.
Take care so you can recover quickly!
God is good all the time, and all the time God is good!!!!
Congrats! It is so wonderful that your mom was able to donate to you! I donated to my dad almost 9 years ago! I was a perfect match and thankfully everything is still in working order!
Please issue another progress report so we know how to pray!
I’m so relieved the surgery went well! Now here’s to a speedy recovery for your mother and yourself. Much love! :)
Congratulations bakerella :)

This certainly seems interesting! Kind of reminded me of the new Food Network show Extreme Chef premiering on June 30th at 10pm! Its intense! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Extreme-Chef/195324160502642
Good luck to both of you!! You seem a really nice and optimistic person, and I’m sure it will help you :-) I hope to hear from you soon

Congratulations to you both! Recover speedily and get back to making those cake pops! :)

Hi Angie. I’m happy to hear the good news that you both are at home and that you two feel great.
My sister was last 10 days in NY for her honeymoon and she came back with lots of items for me to bake, decorate and so on and can you imagine which book she brought? In fact there were two, one about whoppies pies and the other, now my treasure and the reason all of my friends are big jealous, your Cake Pops. I’m so happy to have it here, it’s perfect in my kitchen and I love it. thanks so much for having written it. It goes perfectly well to keep children quite, they look astonishing to the fantastic pictures, haha. Sweet kisses from Spain and wish you the best with your new mum’s present.
Bakerella-
You are such an amazing inspiration! Thank you for introducing me to the world of cake pops. I’ve become addicted to making them! I’m living life through my cake pop blog and finally opening myself up. Yes, through cake pops… who knew?!?!
I’m praying for a speedy recovery for you, and can’t wait see your latest creations someday. :)
Love,
Joey

Aloha Angie. When I would read about your journey with your health my heart would hurt for you. There are many of us that have been silently cheering you on as each week passes and we are so thankful to hear all is going well. Your mom is a gem. I can see where you got your character from. You are so gracious in your responses to posts, your heart shows through your writings. Mahalo for sharing your talent, ideas, thoughts and yes, even your struggles with us here in cyberland.
You are an inspiration my friend.

god bless angie, get well soon! prayers n blessings from malaysia :)
Glad to hear everything went well! Hope you are both up and running around again as soon as possible! *hugs*
SO pleased that everything went well. I am a HUGE fan of Bakerella and love trialing your sweets :) I live in Christchurch, New Zealand which has been hit VERY hard by recent earthquakes and we have about 5.000 people who have lost everything including thier homes…I had no idea what I could do to help… and then I thought… BAKE! so I just made 120 red velvet cake balls and 2 dozen mini muffins and delivered them to the local rescue center. They were a HUGE hit!!!! Thank you so much for your wonderful inspiration!
Both of you are inspiring in so many ways. I hope you both are stronger everyday and that GOD continues to bless you?
I’m new to your site, so I don’t know your history, but I wish you only the best. Lots of hugs and prayers are sent your way…and your Mom’s too! I’m so glad to hear that the surgery went well and look forward to hearing updates soon. I’m not on twitter, so I’ll wait patiently for word… :)
P.S. I was watching one of the celebrity gossip shows, I think it was Extra, and YOU were mentioned. Not sure if you already heard, but Blake Lively from Gossip Girl was talking about cake pops and mentioned your site…BAKERELLA!!! It was totally cool!!!
Hi Bakerella,
I am so glad things went well! Wishing you a speedy recovery, and I hope you feel better soon!
best of luck to you both! I hope a happy and healthy life is in the near future for you both.
I follow you from Mallorca (Spain), wishing you all the best in your recovery, although I´m sure you´ll do it good because you transmit such energy and positiveness that you have 50% of your way done!
Also wondering if there´s going to be a spanish version of your book…
Best wishes and prayers! My father gave me his kidney 14 years ago. I was pregnant with my son when they failed, and continued dialysis for 6 more months before the transplant! 14 years later all is well!! ( fingers crossed)!!! I wish you all the best!!
Praying that you both have a safe and speedy recovery! God Bless You Both!!
So happy for you both! God is soooo good!!!
So happy to see the update and especially with wonderful news!!! Thinking of you and your mom and still saying prayers for your rapid recovery…which it sounds like you are having. Hugs!
Wishing you and your mum a speedy recovery! Thanks for this amazing website which is full of inspiration, also thanks for sharing your health journey… good luck!
I am super glad both you and your mom are doing well. I love what you do with this site and am anticipating a speedy recovery for both of you. You r in my prayers!!
Hi Bakerella,
I hope you and your mom are feeling much better! I’m sorry I missed the post last week! I woke up this morning with the very verse that your mom quoted on my mind this morning!! I saw an email from Williams Sonoma about “The Cars” cookie cutters and it reminded me that I had not been to Bakerella yet! What do I read – the same verse and your great news!! That made me smile – God works in wonderful ways.
My best friend also donated a kidney to her co-worker, and they both got along great.
Feel better soon! We all miss you!
Bakerella!
I have been away on vacation for 3 weeks and just got back to read your recent post.
I am totally inspired by your ideas and love this website. I have tried many of the ideas I have seen on here, some with success but most needing more time and practise!
I pray for a speedy recovery for both you and your mum. Praise our God that the op was successful and both of you are home, resting and doing well.
xx
What a wonderful God we have. Bless both of you and may God keep you and watch over you
So glad to hear that everything went well.Sending prayers for a complete recovery to you both!

I hope you’re back in top shape soon!
What an amazing story. My wife works for the National Kidney Foundation and we just walked in San Jose, CA to support kidney disease research. There’s not enough attention to this issue so thank you for sharing.
Just wanted to send some well wishes your way. Hope everything is still going smoothly and that both you and your mom are well. ~Lori

I think the number of posters here wishing you and your mom well is a testament to how wonderful we all think you ( and your mom!) are.
Blessings and all good wishes for a very speedy recovery.
I’m so happy your surgery went so well- for both you and your mom. Can’t wait to see what you’ll be cookin’ up for us when you start getting around :D

Lots of prayers to you and your mom. I’ve been reading your blog for quite some time (2 years) and I’ve been following your journey. Stay strong and recover quickly! We all can’t wait to see more amazing posts!!
So many prayers and hugs to you both. I am delighted for your health. Looking forward to seeing more of your creations.
Praying for you both, for success with the transplant, for an uneventful recovery and for the staff watching over you.
What joy to hear the kidney started working so quickly. We’re all so happy you’re both getting well.
So happy for you and your family! Hope you and your mom have an easy recovery. ((Hugs))
Just read your story. In March of this year, my husband donated a kidney to a co-worker of sorts. We had never met him. We heard of his need through an email that went state wide to all of our employees (we work for the State of California). We met on the day of their pre-op, the week before surgery. What an adventure this has been! So glad to hear all went well. Our story is very similar. My husband’s kidney started working immediately. What a blessing for all. May God continue to bless you.
With love –
Frances
I am soooooooo glad you are home and doing so well. God IS a wonderful God. Won’t be long until we see new pics and great recipes. Hugs from all of us.. and prayers continuing!!
So glad the surgery went well! Hope you get better soon. I’m no baker, but your creativity and skills are so inspirational!
So happy to hear you are on your way to a quick recovery. The LORD bless and keep you in his LOVING care!
SO Happy that you two are doing well and continue to do so! We CAN do all things through Christ and am so happy to know that you have that faith and are willing to share it with us! Will continue to send prayers your way….
YAY!!!
We miss you SO much!!!
Get well soon……
i’m SO happy to hear that it went well
sending prayers your way.
your mom is a total sweetheart!
Ps: my son says: “tell her to get well soon, so you can learn more!! (LoL) he adores your wb and baking!!! Kisses from us!
So very glad that you and your mom are doing well. Continuing to pray that your recovery is speedy and smooth. :)
Sooooo happy for you! Isn’t it marvelous that we can live perfectly well with one kidney but God saw fit to give us two?
I am truly happy to hear that both you and your mom are doing well. It is a blessing to have such a wonderful mother to stand by your side. I hope the healing process is speedy.
Sending my prayers your way,
Jen
So incredibly glad to hear that everything went well and you and your mom are on the mend. I know you’re glad to be home and finished with the dialysis. Happy healing and well wishes to you both!
Praising God for your successful surgery, and praising Him, not equally, but just as joyfully for your website!
Come on, get better quick! We’d all like new ideas :)
Deep blessings.
That is GREAT news!!! :o) YAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Have been thinking about you both all the way. Good to hear all went well. Wishing you and your mom a very speedy recovery.
God is good! Glad you guys are healthy!
Thank God everything went well! My mom had to go through dialysis for years I wish I COULD HAVE given her my kidney. IN honor of your recovery I am making nutter butter balls and will think of you. IF you ever come to Michigan please let me know! Wishing you a speedy recovery and choclate covered dreams!
LINDA
Healing vibes to the both of you! I’ll be thinking of you tonight as I work on the 2nd phase of my first cake pops! My 5-yr old daughter spotted your cookbook at Target and insisted that I get it! We did and I’m making the graduation pops and regular ones for her preschool grad tomorrow! Lovely book, great work. Here’s to many more sweet treats from you. Feel better soon!
wow, i missed some heavy stuff! glad to hear all went well. what an amazing mom you have. best to you both.
not sure if you heard, but i stopped by to ask if you heard Blake Livey on Tonight Show talk about your cake pops. She even said Bakarella! She said she made them for the crew on her film (Green Lantern?). She calls them cupcake pops.
I thought you would like to know, if you didn’t already…but you probably did. haha
Awesome! I’ve been thinking about you guys. Glad to hear you’re both doing well.
Yay! Sorry, I’m a little late in posting my comment, but I’m so happy that everything is going great. I just wanted to tell you and your Mom that you’re both amazing!
YAY!!! So glad everything went smoothly!! Get well soon!!!
Best wishes!!
Glad to read things are going well for the both of you!
a big fan!
I’m glad that you and your mother are doing well. I will keep you in my prayers.
Thanking God that the surgery went so well, and praying for speedy and complete healing for both you and your mom. What a blessing to know that so many people have been lifting you up in prayer–truly a testiment to the blessing you’ve been (and are) to others.
With continued prayers,
Angel
So glad to hear that the surgery was a success, and especially that you were able to go home so quickly. I was praying the other night and got the “church giggles” because I realized that it sounded a little funny for me to be praying for “Bakerella” instead of by your first name. Then I thanked God that He knows all of us, in all of our different roles, and it made me that much more grateful for His provision and protection over us all. You and your Mom will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
Wishing you n ur mum all the best! Recover soon!!
So good to hear things are going well. You are both still in my thoughts and prayers!
I am so happy to hear your transplant went well! your story parallel’s my beloved big brother’s adventure…he had his first transplant in 1989, and even though the kidney started working right away, he was in the hospital for nearly FOUR MONTHS. Two years ago he had his second transplant, donated by our first cousin…he was released just four days later – what a difference! Here’s wishing you and your dear mom a fast recovery. much love to you.
Please don’t apologize for your lack of baking as of late. Just glad your surgery went well and you and your mom are on your way to recovery.
I look forward to hearing updates and seeing new posts.
SO GLAD to hear that it all went well. I have to say, both you AND your Mom are VERY LUCKY!
Much healing love and blessings to you both!
best wishes for a speedy recovery for you and your mom! glad to hear the surgery went well!
What an amazing post to read!!! I am so happy that both you & your mom are doing so well. I’ve been checking in periodically and this is just so exciting! Can’t wait to see you “back” completely!
Loved seeing your post “so far, so great”! Hope your second check up is also great. Kudos to you and your mom for the GREAT inspiration!
XOXOXO Wendy
PS I’m making cake pops tonight so I hope you get a warm fuzzy feeling!
I’m glad everything turned out beautifully! I wish you and your mom a speedy recovery! Please take care always :)
Angie… you are such an inspiration in so many ways. When I stumbled onto your site, I was amazed by your talents. I too am a baker, although I pale in comparison. I dream of owning my own bakery someday… but for now, teaching will have to be enough! :) Your story has become so much more to me than just another blog to follow. I pray for you on a regular basis, and feel as if I “know” you! tee hee Take care of yourself… we need your wonderful ideas and a SECOND book! LOL I just purchased the first one and look at all the cake pops with pure amazement! Work on getting yourself healed and many hugs to you and your Mom!
So glad to read that you are getting better. You are in my thoughts. Every time I make cake pops I am always asked for the recipe and I always direct them to your wonderful and inspiring blog. Sending you a big hug and lots of prayers for your continued recovery (and your mom’s too!).
so happy that you are both doing well! prayers for a speedy recovery for both of you! i’m sure you’re anxious to get busy again… you can’t keep a good woman down!… but rest up while you can! take care!
It is great that a mother can give the gift of life twice in your lifetime!!! You will both be up and baking in no time! Please keep us updated. I will be prayng for you in Macon, GA!!
Blessings on your recovery! Our God is a great god!
I’m so glad your both doing well. Sweet kisses and sugary hugs! :3
God Bless.
Well… I thought I was just here to print your cake pops recipe – which I did. Of course now I realize that I am here for a far more important reason – to pray for you and your mom to heal completely and quickly… which I also have done. God’s healing Blessings to you both… mm
Soooo glad you both are doing great!
It’s wonderful to hear that it went so well! What a blessing!
You will both continue to be in my prayers :)
Praise the Lord for answered prayers! So great to hear that you both did so well and are home recovering!
So happy your surgery was a success and I wish you both a speedy recovery!
I have been a silent follower for about a year. I decided to break my silence because I have been praying for you and your mom and am so delighted that everything has gone so well!! I am continuing to pray and wish you both continued improvement!! Have a wonderful day!!
I don’t find time to get on here often, but I was thrilled to hear that both your surgeries went well. I’m so glad that you are done with dialysis and will be feeling so much better. I have a little experience on a unit that tests/preps for kidney transplants and it’s such a wonderful time when you can get back to some normalcy! I’m so looking forward to your creativity getting back into full swing! Thanks so much for your ideas and inspiration!
Happy happy kidney… and in the case of Mom…happy “lack there of”!!! All the best to both of you! God bless you both!!!!
Pretty angel, we are all with you. Go for it and smile. Lots of kisses for you both.
I’m just glad y’all are getting better. Prayers from tx.
I wish you both the world of luck, health and happiness. Vida x
So great to hear the good news of the successful transplant, that is the way it is supposed to work, so glad that it did for you and your Mom! Blessings to you both from Minnesota!

I’m so glad it went well. Wishing you a speedy recovery for both you and your mum :)
Sending lots of prayers & thoughts your way. When you’re up & feeling well enough to bake again, you should make kidney cookies to celebrate :)

Good luck from Spain!

Big prayers for your mother and you both! I have been trying to get my fill of your blog lately–you have inspired me to start my own blog and small business. Now Happy Endings Bakery is starting to become more of a reality than just a vision! I truly hope you get better soon so you can provide me with even more inspiration.
I am really glad everything worked just fine. I now hope you two get relieved soon. I wish the best for you both, which I know will come for God is hearing the preayers of us all!

SO HAPPY that you and your Mom are doing well. God is good! Here are some special “Power Verses”.
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.Philippians 4:6-7
. . . you will weep no more. How gracious he will be when you cry for help! As soon as he hears, he will answer you.Isaiah 30:19
Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.
Isaiah 41:10
Praise the LORD! How good it is to sing praises to our God! How delightful and how right! The LORD is rebuilding Jerusalem and bringing the exiles back to Israel. He heals the brokenhearted, binding up their wounds. He counts the stars and calls them all by name. How great is our Lord! His power is absolute! His understanding is beyond comprehension!
Psalms 147:1-11
When I think of the wisdom and scope of God’s plan, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will give you mighty inner strength through his Holy Spirit.
Ephesians 3:14-16
So be truly glad! There is wonderful joy ahead, even though it is necessary for you to endure many trials for a while. These trials are only to test your faith, to show that it is strong and pure. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold – and your faith is far more precious to God than mere gold. So if your faith remains strong after being tried by fiery trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world. You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him, you trust him; and even now you are happy with a glorious, inexpressible joy. Your reward for trusting him will be the salvation of your souls.
1 Peter 1:6-9
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:11-13
Love & prayers are sent your way.
