Building a CakePHP app with Parse.com - anyone done it?

A client has asked me about using Parse.com for a site.  I already have a version of the site in CakePHP 2.0, but he reckons that in the future they'll want a mobile app, and the mobile developers said that they find it much easier to build if they use Parse.com.  Therefore, he asked me about porting the site over to Parse.com.

From a quick read of the Parse.com docs, it looks like it would basically replace the MySQL database, and instead the site would need to use REST queries to get the data from Parse.  I've done a little bit of REST stuff before, but it's almost always been by copying and pasting from the relevant documentation, so it's not something I fully have a grasp of.

Anyway, I wondered whether anyone else has built a Cake app on this platform, and if so, what's it like to work with?

Thanks!
