Thanks for the recommendation. Although CakePHP may be an overkill, it is flexible enough to handle future new features requested by customer. slimframework may be useful for personal projects but I will stick to a more flexible framework like CakePHP or Zend when making recommendation to my boss.

If you are sure that your project is always going to be web service
only I would suggest start with a framework dedicated for such task.
eg: Slim http://www.slimframework.com/

Both CakePHP and ZendFW will be an overkill
