Being an application framework, Cake provides you a lot of controls over these topics. Creating forms, and having this data save to a database, with validation, is one of the most basic Cake concepts - go through some of the simple tutorials.
However, Cake is not aimed at providing the "be all and end all" of any particular feature - as these are application specific. So, your application will need to manage having your form across multiple pages (forward and back etc), dealing with complex validation rules, all sorts of stuff really. Scaffolding is very handy, but is not intended for production - you should bake all your controller actions and views. This of course gives you as much control as you need over what to show / hide. Anyway, my suggestion is to actually use Cake, and follow some of the tutorials. Now that I have used it for some time I wouldn't want it to be different - but if you are after a "Complex Form Creation Utility" then Cake is not it (Cake lets you develop the Complex Form Creation Utility!)
