Go for it! At first it does seem like you're reinventing the wheel, but as time goes by, things become a lot quicker. Last year I spent a couple of days trying to figure out RSS, but this week I implemented it in another blog in half an hour. Cut & paste. One of the advantages of Cake is that it tends to push you down a more reusable route. Not always so easy in pure PHP. You can use the modularity within a project as well as without(?) - for example the admin for news will be pretty much the same as the admin for events. Cut & paste, search & replace. There are also a lot of 'ready to use' components available. If something 3rd party is worth using, someone has probably built a component for it.
