@Al: Well, as always, it depends. A framework like Cake is useful if you want to write your own blog engine because you have special requirements (or whatever). On the other hand, Wordpress is useful if you want to use a proven product and you don’t need the flexibility of a custom solution.

To be honest I dont think Cake is the best tool for blogs, I better like wordpress, but a blog on this site would be great http://www.droparecipe.com but lets see if it comes, also a cake creation :)

@rishi: I’m sorry, but I’m not aware of any such tutorial. Maybe the coming version of phpShop (http://code.google.com/p/phpshop/) is something for you?

@Baz: I never used CI, so I can’t say anything about it.

And yes, with the book application the documentation situation has become better.

Funny thing is that I have the opposite problem. I tried CI (recommended by a friend) and couldn’t get it to work right.

Documentation was a big problem before. But they released the book: http://book.cakephp.org/ and things are going a bit smoother now.

Also, BAKE rocks. It was by far, the quickest way to learn the framework.

I noticed another problem is the instability of it, I need a framework that need i18n, so I chose cakephp, sad to say the cakephp 1.2 beta is too unstable, I used cakephp 1.1 stable before, after switching to cakephp 1.2, there are alot more random errors like, database will not update, some of the self referencing database relationship will not fetched, etc

@hcker2000: Sad to hear that. Anyway, good luck with Code Igniter, and maybe you will give Cake a second chance in the future ;-)

I to have tried using cakephp with xampp and have read the blog tutorial in the manual and watched the screen cast. I have never been able to get it working so I switched from looking at using cakephp to http://codeigniter.com framework and have had no issues fallowing there tutorials. Every thing works as it should.
