Hi guys. I guess you’ve probably noticed my absence from the website recently. Well, I’ve finally felt good enough to post something. So here goes. I’ve been in the hospital for the last twelve days and I’m still not sure when I will get out. Hopefully soon. Hopefully. I’m definitely ready.
Unfortunately, I was pretty sick when I arrived. I started out with an infection that made its way into my transplanted kidney and then into my bloodstream. Not good. Not fun.
But what makes matters much more difficult is that for more than a year now, my transplanted kidney has not been doing it’s best. I chose not to tell anyone because I wanted to focus on being positive, but I’ve slowly had to come to terms that my kidney, the wonderful gift of life given to me more than eighteen years ago will not be with me forever. Actually, something I never really expected to happen. But I was so young when I received it and it has done so superbly over the years, I never had a reason to question its lifespan. I’ve learned recently however, that 18 years is fantastic for a transplanted kidney and even better since mine was from a deceased donor. I can’t tell you how hard it is to accept that I will have to let this kidney go. Feelings of letting my deceased donor down fill my heart with sadness.
But it is happening. And faster than I anticipated. Before getting sick two weeks ago, I had begun the process to be re-evaluated for another kidney transplant and to be added to the transplant waiting list. In the meantime, my mom is being tested to be a possible donor. I had thought I would have time to do all of this and hopefully have surgery and not skip a beat with my job or with this website that I enjoy sharing with you so much.
No such luck. Since I’ve been here, I’ve started dialysis to take some stress off my distressed kidney while it tries to heal. The hope is that I would be on dialysis for a short while, giving my transplanted kidney time to recuperate. Then, go off dialysis and try to squeak a few more months out before surgery is needed.
The alternative, though which is just as possible is that 1) I’ll be on dialysis until my mom is confirmed as a donor or 2) My mom is not a potential donor and then I would stay on dialysis while I wait on the list for a kidney to become available.
So that’s what’s been going on. That’s the reason for the lack of cake pops and cupcakes and cute. I just wanted to let you know something and thank everyone for their wonderful and inspiring get well wishes. You guys are a huge bright spot in my life. You have no idea how much.
Hugs,
Bakerella
Get well soon, Angie! My thoughts and prayers are with you.
your absence has not gone unnoticed. thank you for the update. best wishes and thoughts are with you and your family during this incredibly difficult time. let us all know if you need anything…i think many of us would send or come visit if needed. although i’m sure your hospital staff would not appreciate the mass groups of visitors…we could prob bring sweets to tide them over while we visited. <3 <3 <3
my fingers are crossed for a superb match, easy surgery, and quick recovery! :)
Im from Argentina, i really wish you a soon recuperation, and i will waiting for your good news. Best,
love you bakerella!!!
I’ll be praying for you. Miss you!
I hope you have a match soon. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts.
Oh Bakerella, I have never commented but have been a long time fan of your blog. You make me laugh all the time. As you can see by the number of comments, you are dearly loved. I will keep you, your mother and your family in my prayers. Life throws curve balls unfortunately. We’ve all been dealt a few. Just know that heaven is getting an overload on your behalf and that the Lord will bless you with what is needed.
As a faithful follower of your blog I am distressed to hear your news. I will pray for you every day that everything will work out. Your positive approach to life will get you through this. You have so many people rooting for you. God bless you!
I am praying for you and your family! Thank you for sharing all your creative fun ideas with all of us!
Is there somewhere I can go to see if I would be a good donor? If not, maybe I could help someone else….
Wishing you a big healthy kidney very soon! Hang in there — we all support you — and you’ll be back making cute, tasty treats in no time. We’ll still be here…. Take care of yourself.
Hopefully you will get a matching kidney soon!
Wishing you the best!
Bakerella… you and your family are in our prayers!!! Stay strong and thank you for sharing such personal matter with your virtual family!
I was sort of wondering what was up since you hadn’t posted for awhile, and now I know. Wishing you a speedy recovery and sending all sorts of good thoughts your way! Crossing my fingers (and toes) that your mom’s a match.
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. You are such an inspiration to all of us. Please remember that as prayers go upward blessings come down.
Where can I be tested? I am no relation but if God were to make me a match, I don’t mind sharing! REALLY! Wow, wouldn’t it be awesome if I could share my life with you – since you have so freely shared your life with me!
I am NOT joking!
“To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.” When God takes something from your grasp , he’s not punishing you, but merely frees your hands to receive something better. Concentrate on this sentence: “The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you”. Something good will happen to you today, something that you have been waiting to hear.
Just 27 Words, “God walk through my house and take away all my worries and illnesses and please watch over and heal my family. Amen.”
Let me know. Miracle happen EVERY day!
i hope you get well soon. we all need your dosage of cuteness. take care.
Get well soon! My prayers are with you:)
Never have posted on a blog before. Really never. Hope everything wil go well. Hope your luck from now on will be as big as your talent!
Oh, no! Thank you for the update – I will get busy praying for you rightnow!
Bonjour bakerella!
from the 7 of us in french class in australia, get well soon!
we absolutely adore you and the blog, and our prayers are with you.
Je t’aime <3
Huge hugs and lots of love to you, I hope you continue to feel ok, and that you get a replacement kidney quickly. xxxxx
Hope you will get well soon
my prayers for you
love ya
Get well soon sweety….Prayers to you and your family !
I’m so sorry, all my hopes and best wishes are with you!
get well soon bakerella!!
Once day I came across this site filled with colorful works for cute art. You have inspired me to bake, want to grow up to be a mother and make these cute treats for my future child and friends. You are in my thoughts, and I wish for the best. Know that you have a lot of people supporting you, all these comments are from people all over the world, and each one of us are standing beside you. “Hwaiting!”;; A common Korean ‘battle cry’, words of encouragement. <3
Get better soon. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. HUGS!
Praying for you! I can only imagine how difficut this has been. I hope you will be better soon! Sending all things positive your way!!!
Wow. You are one tough *cake pop (not cookie hehe). I have never posted before, but how could I not respond to this post. I’m a medical student, and never expected my happy-go-lucky, go-to baking blog to have a post on this topic. I hope that you have a short, but productive stay in the hospital. You’ll get through this just fine. If it helps at all, I’m blood type B negative and would be honored to share!
I too have been a silent reader on your blog and am totally in awe of your creations, I was just getting bored of baking and you have given me a little “pop” back in my step! So great big hugs and get well soon xxx:)
sending you many prayers for a speedy recovery…can’t wait to see what kind of inspriration you come back with. take it easy for now :)
oh my… I’m tearing up here in Ohio. you are such a bright light on the internet “circuit”; I stop by daily to see what new creative idea you’ve dreamed up. oh honey, you are definitely in my prayers; I’m asking God for a miracle for you.
I’m thinking about you & adding you to my prayers. I hope you get better soon and are able to get a kidney fast. I’m still disappointed I couldn’t drive up to see you when you were in San Francisco last month.
I plan to make cake pops for the teachers at school next week. I’m sure they’ll be a hit.
You are more than a conqueror, you’ve lived all these years on your donor kidney and I pray a similar blessing using the works as I type this either your mother’s a match and you have a uneventful surgery and you both have a speedy recovery. Or your time on the donor list is short.
Your heart and spirit are so kind and sweet, I pray you remain encouraged, positive, and strong throughout this process.
My thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this. You are a strong and wonderful woman who always seems to put yourself last on your list. You need to put yourself first and stop worrying about us. We will all still be here when (notice I didn’t say if) you get back and will be waiting with baited breath for you to tell us how well you and your mom did through the surgery. *hugs*
You’re in my prayers for a good outcome, whatever way that happens.
Get better soon!! Best of luck to you.
Wishing you the very best and hopefully a very quick date on that new kidney! I’m sure you’re in good hands. Thank you for letting us know how you are.
I am praying for you! Your website always brightens my day and I love your upbeat attitude and adorable treats! I hope you recover quickly!
I wish you well lovely lady,my thoughts and prayers are with you
Cheers
Bakerella this not so sweet news!!! I pray that your mom is a perfect match for you… Thank you for the update… I will be looking for future updates on YOU! And when you are doing better I look forward to a celebration cake pop! Stay rested and bless you!
Sorry to hear about your struggles. I just want you to know that you have braught a lil bit of sunshine into my life with ur wonderful creations. Thank you so much. I am sending hopes and prayers for a quick recovery.
<3 Maria
You and your family are all in my prayers!! Hopefully you’ll get some answers and get out of the hospital soon! Thank you for sharing all the amazing recipes/ideas/creativity. I already thought you were fantastic, now I can add brave and strong to that!
Many prayers for a quick recovery! Wishing you the best! Take your time recovering and feel better soon!
So sorry to hear about this Bakerella — thinking of you and sending well wishes xoxo

Wow. Many, many positive thoughts and prayers are with you. Hoping that you can have a smooth, healthy and happy transition in your life. Hang in there :)
Good luck, and I hope you are back on your feet soon! :) I’ll keep you in my prayers!
I hope things work out well for you, my mom is on dialysis now and has been for over a year. We are trying to get her on the transplant list, so I know what you and your family are going through. You dont need to feel like you let your donor down, 18 years is a long time and to go that long without any major problems is awesome!!! Stay positive, you have lots of love, prayers and well wishes coming towards you from all that you know and all that read this blog. You are a fantastic woman!!!
Dearest Bakerella,
My best wishes and prayers to you. Don’t worry about the blog and get better soon.
Wishes for a possible donor match and keep up the amazing positive spirit that you can have during this time. Your blogs absolutely make my day, and always put a smile on my face even when I have so much going on.
Big giant sweet hugs being sent your way! I will pray for you.
Keep up your positive attitude. It will serve you well. You’re a great role model for others that are going through difficult times. Your cheerfullness really comes through in the little creations you share with us. The pops are so infectious. I made them as Christmas Bouquets this year and handed them out to special customers. Now, I have people wanting me to teach them how to do them. All because you love what you do and share with others.
Thank you and get well soon. You’re in my prayers.
Praying for you.
Bakerella I love you so much!!! Seriously, you are always going to be on my mind and in my prayers throughout this time. Although I am sure you found it difficult to share with all of us your situation, I am very glad you did because we can all join together for you in prayer. Love, hugs, peace, rest and healing to you from Tulsa xoxoxo.
Prayers for a new kidney and a speedy recovery! I think your original donor would be pleased that he helped you live 18 years.
Praying for you–sending love and speedy recovery your way…since I’ve found your blog you’ve inspired me so much that I check in frequently to see what you’re up to–found it odd that you haven’t been active…stay strong! xoxoox

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Its not easy sharing something that is so personal with all of us out here in this virtual world. We admire your strength during this difficult time. Take care and God Bless.

I’ve never commented before but I’ve been reading this blog for a very long time (and am also now the little cake-pop queen with my friends and family, all because of you!).
I just want to say that you are a constant inspiration – not just in our kitchens, but in our hearts, and I wish you the speediest of recoveries. Stay strong and don’t forget that you have thousands of fans cheering you on while you find a donor and get yourself back on your feet. We are rooting for you!
Having been on the kidney transplant list for two years in June, your story give me hope that once I get a kidney, it will last for a while. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for both of us. Hope you get one soon.
Dearest Bakerella, Praying for your speedy recovery!
I’ll be praying for you….get well soon and I hope you get a kidney soon. Will miss your posts and adorable creations. Hang in there.
Tons of love and prayers sent your way! Don’t worry about us not seeing “cake pops!” I was in line at Starbucks while reading this post and guess what they are now serving?! Cake pops! They were good, but I bet yours are much BETTER! You made pops famous!!!!

Certainly your donor would not feel let down. I’m sure he/she would be pleased that you were given 18 years of a better life because of their gift. I wouldn’t let that though even enter your mind. In the meantime, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Oh my goodness, I’m sorry to hear that. You hang in there – I’ll pray that it all works out well.
We love you, Bakerella!!! You’ll be in my prayers
I Hope things work out well for you with your mom possibly being a donor. Lots of hugs and love!

I love your work although I have mentally complained about all the food colors going into those wonderful creations. I feel terrible about it now, although it has nothing to do with your health. OK, i’m rambling here, but i’m finding it hard to say something comforting. You are in my prayers. God bless you. Seeing how many readers have delurked, i’m sure you will be back here in no time.
Oh, Sweetie! Take care of yourself. We miss you and will be sending positive thoughts your way! Thank you for sharing your amazing cake pops with us!
My prayers are with you and I ask God to send his healing angles to cover you during this time. I pray that a donor is found quickly….Please stayed prayed up
Best wishes for a speedy recovery…and not just for the cake pops! Feel Better!!
You have brought so much joy into my life with your blog and your cake pops. Wishing you and your family all the best during this difficult time.
I will be praying for you!
Praying hard that you are feeling better soon and that your mom is a match. I’ve missed your updates and wondered what was going on. I’m so sorry to hear about all you’ve been going through. Prayers for a quick recovery!
Lots and lots of prayers. Get well, and get strong!
Saying a big ol’ prayer for you Bakerella! My sister dealt with renal failure at a young age, and got a new pancreas and kidney a few years ago. Here’s to at least some PD and not HD until you get your brand spanking new kidney!
Great Big Hugs to you. Praying for you !!
please don’t feel you let your donor down!! You did no such thing. some things we have control over, this is not one of them.
Lots of hugs and prayers to you! We love you!
I hope you are healed quickly and soon! Stay strong, Bakerella!
You’ve brought me so much joy and pleasure. Thank you for that. I check your site every few days to see what’s new, and when I didn’t see anything I figured you were busy creating yummy treats. I’m sorry you are enduring this. You’re a strong woman with a super positive outlook . I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Thanks for feeling like you could share this with your community. We care about you so much!
You are such an amazing person and bring such joy to all of us in cyberspace. Prayers and good wishes headed your way!
I also have never commented before, but love everything about your site and always enjoy reading your blog. I wish you the best as you go through this difficult time and pray that your mom will be a match!
:( and :( and :(!!!!!! cannot express feelings very well in words.
Lots of prayers and good wishes are with you!!
I am very sorry for you!!!! Must have been my bad influence :)/:(
By the way, if you did not know, Starbucks Coffee (for a limited time) is including CAKE POPS in their Petites items!!!! Very happy to know you now have some publicity.
Very mixed emotions at this point.
Oh, dear. I am sorry to hear of this and wishing you well.
Stace
Get better soon!
Sending love and hugs from Sydney x
Positive thoughts are with you!
Sending you lots of prayers.
Hi, i’ve never commented but visit your blog often. My brother’s first kidney transplant (from a deceased donor) lasted nearly 20 years. his second was a live donation from a cousin, so please, have more of your family tested for compatibility! wishign you strength and grace and healing.
I’ve never been great at writing, so I’ll keep it short and sweet…..you have inspired more people than you know, and hopefully now we can inspire you to hang in there through a very difficult time. Please know many prayers, well wishes and healing thoughts are being sent your way!
Dear Bakerella,
Receive my most sincere get well wish from Brazil.
Love,
Maria Luiza Pedrosa
Having donated a kidney to my father I can understand what you are going through in a way. My deepest fear is that my father will eventually need another transplant. He has had my kidney for the past 10 years. I am so sorry that you are going through this now. I hope that your mother is a match and you can have the surgery in a timely manner. Either way, I hope that you have an easy and speedy recovery. You are in all of our thoughts.
Stay Strong!!!
Best wishes from Portugal!
Wow! Words certainly cannot express anything different than what has already said. But we hope you know you are loved and we truly wish for a fast recovery. Our prayers are with you and your family!
Sending you love and healing thoughts… I hope you get a nice kidney very soon and feel much better. I’ll have Pioneer Woman give you a hug from me : )
I am so sorry to hear about your troubles. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Healing thoughtd and energy being sent to you…
I am holding you in the Light, envisioning the healthy kidney that awaits you. You will return to full health while a thousands of people cheer you on and count their blessings. I too, have a health problem that was “fixed” in my childhood only to find it has become “undone” and i am facing surgery in the next 3 years. Very big. Lots of risks. BUT – I too have an army of friends who will go along with me through thick and thin. It is a precious and intimate thing to share such big health problems with others. You are my hero for doing so. I am just one of many who will lift you up and KNOW you feel the love and support of so many who admire you and are so thankful for your life. Be strong.
Good Luck Bakerella!!!
Hope you get well soon…!!
Sending you all the courage you need!! BIG HUGS!! Your fans love you!! xo
Prayers for you most definitely!!!
You’re in my thoughts and prayers. I know that something positive will happen for you because you’re such a positive person and angel.
Hope you start to feel better soon. I am sending good thoughts your way. Postivie thinking that a super hero kidney will be coming into your life soon!
You are an inspiration, please hang on!
Everything will be all right son.
My prayers are with you and family!
I don’t know you, and this is the first time I’ve seen your blogspot, traveling from another blog. Bless your heart and may God be with you and take care of you. Modern medicine can work wonders, and I’m sure your donor would be so proud and happy for you that their kidney has given you 18 years of life! I pray you will come through with shining colors… Take good care of yourself!
Wow. I was so surprised to read your news. Thank you for sharing…prayers are being said for you. Wishing you all the best.
I’m trying to decide if making kidney shaped cakepops would be a charming display of camaraderie or just plain icky. Kinda going with icky. Maybe something with jelly beans, they’re sorta the right shape. . . .or maybe I’ll just eat cake and smile at the sweetness and think of you.
Keeping you in my prayers!!!!
Dear Bakerella,
Your health is more important than cakepops. With all the beautiful things that you’ve made to keep us all on our toes, you deserve my prayers and virtual hugs. Believe in the power of prayers!
Thoughts and Prayers are with you!!!
Praying for you in Spokane and looking forward to hearing positive news! Hugs.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
I hope this encourages everyone to register to be an organ donor
Hope you’re feeling better soon. Love your site and all of your goodies!!
I was wondering where you went! I was checking your blog almost every day, hoping to see a new, colorful and fun post. If I knew you were in the hospital, I would’ve just sent my love! Please get better, I miss your fun posts.
Hugs and (Cakepop) Kisses,
Sonia, a fellow blogger
I made my first cake balls for Valentine’s Day…they were somewhat sloppy, but tasted very good. The tap, tap, tap is very important! I wish you a speedy recovery! We also expect liver shaped cake pops once you are home and baking again. South Texas will be holding you in the light until you have recovered. Peace, love and much happiness to you and yours.
I hope you are back home and up to your ears in delightful little cakeball creations soon, soon, soon!
So sorry to hear about your kidney trouble. I have enjoyed your website and i’ll be praying you can get back to doing all the things you like to do and for the new kidney.
Angie,
Your wonderful creations are always such a delight to see and I have used some of the recipes you’ve posted and received rave reviews. I was completely unaware of your kidney situation. Hang in there. I don’t believe God is finished with you yet.
I am so sorry to hear about this….many hugs!
I don’t know you personally – but I am feeling emotional reading your post…your blog is such a bright spot for me and I feel bad that that I don’t know how to return the favor to you…I am sending positive energy and good will your way….I hope you are able to get a match soon and that this episode is a blip in the whole scheme of your life
Saw Cake Pops at Starbucks the other day and wondered where you’d been. I’m sorry to hear it wasn’t wonderful, fun travels. Thoughts, prayers, wishes, vibes…. all good things directed your way.
Dear Bakerella,
I hope you speak Spanish for this is what I have to say and regretfully can’t say it that well in English:
Personas como tú, con un espíritu tan generoso, dadivoso y positivo, son una luz de alegría que no debe apagarse. Desde aquí vaya toda mi energía para que continúes con tu buen ánimo el camino hacia una pronta recuperación. Afectuosamente,
Natalia
Praying for you!
Aqui do Brasil torcemos e oramos pela sua recuperação.as vezes nossa fé é posta a prova ,é nesta hora que devemos acreditar, no imenso amor que DEUS tem por todos nós, e com certeza ele olha por vc agora, acredite e a vitória será sua.

Hope you get well soon , praying and love to you
God bless you
You are so in my prayers. I had the pleasure to meet you this past fall at one of your book signings. I was so happy to meet you and see your happy smiling face in person. I hope that all goes well and you are back to making cake pops soon! Until then, know how much you mean to all of your boggers!
Take care….I would come hug you if I was in your neighborhood!!!

You’re a wonderful, talented and inspiring person and thank you for sharing your story. Keep your head up, you’ll be back in action before you know it :) All my love and best wishes to you, your family and friends xx
We so enjoy your sight, you are very talented. You are in our thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery!
You poor thing!! You are in my thoughts and prayers. I am sure there are a ton of people would would be happy to be a donor and keep the joy and LOVE of cupcake pops and sweets alive! Let us know if there is anything we can do!!
You are such an inspiration to me and my baking! I wish the best for you! Many prayers being sent your way!
I am praying that you have success in getting a new kidney. I understand how it’s hard to become motivated to get other things done. However, those other things help us to stay postive and not focus on those things that pull our positive energy. May God bless and strengthen you.
Dear Bakerella,
I’m so happy to read you’re feeling better, and hope everything will go well until they find you a great donor. You always seem so bright and sunny on pictures, I hope (and somehow know) that you still have that great smile, and I’m sure all the nurses and doctors in the hospital love spending time with you.
Wishing you all the best from Belgium, hope you’ll be up and baking soon! But take your time to recover first, there’ll always be time to bake;-)
Big hug, lots of love and sweetness!
Hi Bakerella,
Let me just say I have enjoyed getting to know you and your amazing talent through your website and I am so sad that you are having to endure this. But our God is a great God and I pray that he will heal you and make this process as smooth as possible.
