What you are talking about is essentially a Form Builder. For the rendering of arbitrary fields have a look at the way scaffolding manages it.
As for sorting out which fields to render - it sounds like you have the right approach for storing it in the database, and then it is just a matter of figuring out which ones to pull out, in what order and then figure out how to display it. You will need to write a component that grabs all the form fields from the DB and send it to the view, and then create a Helper that loops this data and uses FormHelper to render them. The hard part is deciding the format that you are going to use to store the field data. Sounds like it could be a very useful set of components/helpers and would be a great addition to the Bakery.
