Thanks for the help but I figured this one out shortly after my post. The problem is that MySQL out of the box does not allow any users to connect to it via localhost other than root. So I just used the root login for now seeings how I am developing on my local machine. I created a DB user specifically for that DB and used it in the CakePHP DB config but I believe MySQL will not allow that user to connect via local host unless configured to do so.
