It shouldn't be about "bloat" vs. "lean"; it's about your business model and what value are you delivering to your clients. If you are providing stand-alone applications like a CMS or bulletin board, then use Drupal or phpBB; you are not delivering any additional value by making a custom application with Cake but are charging much more. On the other hand, you can develop a program that includes just the CMS functionality they need but also provides other automated tools (auto email those documents to an online customer managment system) that could not be provided with an off-the-shelf solution. That way your client has fewer programs to learn (and you have to train/support) and gets a solution that's tailored to them, providing real value and justifying the larger cost of a custom solution.
