That's what one New Jersey mother of three is whipping up to help keep her home out of foreclosure. Angela Logan of Teaneck, N.J., surpassed a goal of making 100 $40 "Mortgage Apple Cakes" in 10 days to meet her $2,559.94 mortgage payment. The Bergen Record reports the divorced actress has received more than 500 orders for her desserts, which she says fight "foreclosure one cake at a time."
"Purchase our moist delicious Mortgage Apple Cakes (M.A.Cs), made with loads of fresh Gala and Delicious apples and whole grain flour, covered with buttercream cheese frosting, made with vanilla and organic confection," Logan writes on her Web site. "It's a gourmet treat."
The enterprising entrepreneur made two cakes at a time from her home kitchen, but has since moved to a donated space in a local hotel where she's whipping up about 20 cakes a day, the paper said.
That's a good thing, considering on Tuesday city officials dropped by to deliver a cease-and-desist order to Logan's home as New Jersey state law won't allow bakers to use a residential kitchen for commercial use.
"We did not fine her," Wayne Fisher, Teaneck's health officer, told the Record. "That is not our intention. We are happy for her now, and we wish her well."
Logan did not return an interview request from Slashfood, but she told the Record that she'll keep on baking her mortgage cakes for the foreseeable future.
"I won't stop baking until people stop ordering," she told the Record this week. "It's been an outpouring of people wanting to help, and I want them to get their cakes. It'll be awhile, and I'm asking everyone to be patient."

What's even more interesting to me is that we have the Internet now and as opposed to the situation in the 1930's things are hard but not so hard that everybody's begging on a corner- I'm not denying that that isn't happening though.

As someone who holds a degree in Food and Beverage Management, my initial thought was, what about the health concerns, so I'm certainly glad she is not still cooking in her home kitchen!! With all of the public food contamination we have here (and these are companies who are inspected) I definitely would not want to think about all the cross-contamination, especially as 3 children eat in that kitchen.
Great sales job, though - especially since she now has other people doing the work? Wonder who buys the supplies?
I guess I'll just have to slog along and keep looking for one of those jobs where you pay taxes and have health insurance and really cool things like that. Oh yeah...taxes... hope someone thinks about her in April of 2010!
I'll use my $40 (plus shipping? food left in the danger-zone for more than 4 hours??) and use it to help pay MY OWN mortgage!
Sorry to have to point out reality

Why am I so negative, lets see... the mortgage crisis was born out of the greed of financial institutions and individuals that, knowingly brought Homes they could not afford. Well you know how the story the goes the government decided to give all those bozo our money to bail them out. Now it's I got ripped off by my contractor and my job didn't pay me? so buy my expensive cake and bail me out of my blunder. boo hoo! Hey, why not help all saps that have a sad tale. What’s next? Are people are going to start making cakes for any occasion for ex: I got a parking ticket- $40 cake, I need to do the laundry $50 cake, a butterfly farted $60 cake. Bad stuff happens to good folks. All this originated from the sad event of the Hobden family (http://mortgagecake.com/) when their daughter became ill they, baked their way out foreclosure by making apple spice cakes yum! Now Mrs./Ms Logan (and this is what is most frustrating to me) Decides to make guess what? You got it, her very own special version of the apple spice cake. At least she could have made a banana nut cake! All this is a weird version of stone soup, except at the end of this tale you end with a pricey cake and get to feel good. If you want to give your hard earned money to people that made stupid chooses; fine, I would love to get $49.99 from you and I will send you in my finest hand writing, a thankful note. If this sounds stupid well it is (and so is giving people handouts when people make bad, selfish financial choices). The best way to feel good about your-self is to stop enabling people and make your own damn cake, you may even find a con and make money.
