Thank you so much Anja and dr. Hannibal. This helps me very much. As you described dr. Hannibal your not sure why I would want many apps for what Im doing and nor do I. So having you confirm that I can do all this in a single cake folder is a relief.
So I guess than its true to say that I can have one app folder and I can just keep adding as many controllers, models and views as I please. I really do appreciate your help here. Thanks again!
