Nancy's Lung Transplant Journey: Haunted Castle Cake

Welcome friends and family!

Thank you for visiting my blog. It documents my amazing journey from pre to post double lung transplant. I am a 37 year old mother and wife with Cystic Fibrosis who has been more greatly blessed than I could ever imagine possible!

It has been a bumpy ride, but God has given me strength, love, friendship, and, FINALLY, health. My prayers have been answered, my miracle was granted, and I want to share the joy of my new life with you.

If you are a first time visitor, please take a moment to watch The Miracle of Transplantation video below. To me, pictures speak a thousand words.

My entries begin in April of 2008 and my double lung transplant was December 10. Scroll down to my blog archive and you can read from the beginning or jump around. If you are looking for a specific topic, you can use the search engine.

Please feel free to contact me with questions or feedback, I would love to hear from you!

I hope I can help you to experience the love God has for each and every one of us!

May God Bless You with Miracles in Your Life! Nancy

Haunted Castle Cake

As most of you know, I have gotten very interested in cooking lately and am having a blast trying all sorts of new recipes. Hannah's Birthday party is coming up next weekend and she had picked a cake out of a magazine that she wanted. We bought the magazine and I pondered over how on earth I was going to make this cake. The directions said it wasn't difficult to make, though the picture made it look impossible!

I decided I better do a dry run just to make sure I could do it, so this past Saturday, I spent the ENTIRE day in the kitchen. What I learned from this experience is: If it looks impossible, it probably is. Needless to say, we have decided to make a litter box cake instead. Disgusting, but much easier!

I thought I would share my attempt at the haunted castle cake. (This recipe will not be making it onto my cooking blog, I don't want anyone else to feel the frustration I felt on Saturday!)
