So I'm displaying a few recent tweet's from a user's Twitter profile on a page. I created a class to manage the retrieval of the RSS feed from Twitter and parse it. What I'd like to do is cache the loaded data since there's an API limit on reading the RSS feed. Attached is the class I'm using to do this. It's entirely based on a Model for CakePHP. So then in my controller I have this function:

public function Tweets($limit = 4) {
    $twitter = new TwitterFeed();
    return new DataObjectSet($twitter->find(array('limit'=>$limit)));
}

I'm obviously doing something wrong because when I loop through the tweets with <% control Tweets %> I'm getting the HTML markup for the entire page. Guessing this has something to do with how I'm caching the data.

Any help would be appreciated.

Doesn't look like the file was attached...here's the code

<?php
class TwitterFeed extends DataObject {

    /**
