There is a Drupale module called "Drake" ("dr" --from Drupal and "ake" from Cake):
http://drupal.org/project/drake

There isn't a version for Drupal 6 yet. A quick look at the project page doesn't show a huge amount of activity for that module. But that doesn't mean someone isn't working furiously to port it to 6. I'd post a support request on the Drake page. I don't know what the bridge module does, and I don't know Cakephp at all. However, you should know that you can embed any php you want including calls to queries of non Drupal databases with any node or block of Drupal. You have to have the PHP input format enabled for that user. You will also have to register the the external database in the settings.php file (at least that is the way it was in Drupal 5). When that is done you don't have to include any dbconnect code with your embedded code.

Hope this gets you started.
