Or, I guess you could save the Order, but leave some flag column set to 0 (incomplete), for example. Are the users logged in? Having a user_id would make it a bit simpler but it's not strictly necessary. You could simply save a long-term cookie with the SavedOrder.id (I'd suggest to use UUID for that). If the cookie expires before they return, too bad. Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
