When Angela Logan started peeling apples and baking last summer, she not only saved her home but she also started a business, says NorthJersey.com.

Eight months after selling enough “Mortgage Apple Cakes” to meet her house payment — and becoming a media celebrity in the process — the 56-year-old Logan is still pursuing acting. But more and more, she is earning a living as a cake entrepreneur, as well as training to be a life coach.

With the fear of losing her home having passed, she is reinventing herself.

Logan, who has done commercials and stand-up comedy and appeared on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” had been looking to switch to nursing — steadier work than acting. Then the Mortgage Apple Cake took off and landed her on NBC’s “Today,” Fox’s “Wendy Williams Show” and cable news shows.

Asked to describe herself now, Logan said: “An actress building a side business baking cakes and working to find ways to help others going through strenuous situations like I was in.”

Toward the latter end, she wants to become a life coach — “with a component of helping people who are having trouble with their mortgage.”
