At least as far as keyboard and instrumental music goes, there are a lot of Baroque and Classical sources for ornamenting cadences. Most of what is said in those sources is just as well applicable to vocal music. I know for example that there are a couple of pieces by Ignaz Moscheles based on Malibran's cadenzas to some operatic arias; they are basically harmonized transcriptions and they are far more florid than most of the ones found in Liebling's book.
