I'd been having the same problem and was googling when I stumbled upon this. I was getting the same 'Warning: include_once...' error as you did.

I figured out this was happening only when I ran the 'cake bake' command from the ..\cake\console\ folder like you did.

So here's what fixed this issue for me. I added path to the console folder to my environment variables. Now I could call the cake bake command from anywhere.

Then I changed directory to your app folder e.g. ...\htdocs\myCakeWebsite\app

Then run 'cake bake' command! It worked fine from then on.

You need to create your database.php file in the config folder so that Cake knows what database to connect to for the models.

Once you have done this you need to create your database schema and then bake the model for it.
