since you are new to cake I will outline a common approach on this pretty quick:
you would only use one app (not two - bad idea, too much redundancy) you would then use an "admin" prefix which allows you to distinguish between - user sections: /controller/action/ - admin sections: /admin/controller/action this gives you exactly what you need with cake build in stuff without having to wry about above problems.
