To include CSS assets from a plugin you need to use the plugin dot notation. For example, if you wanted to include the file css/styles.css from your PanelAdmin plugin you would use:-

echo $this->Html->css('PanelAdmin.styles');

See the official docs for details.

Cake uses cssBaseUrl to determine the folder name for the css folder, but I believe you can navigate out of this by using ../ in the file path:-

echo $this->Html->css('PanelAdmin.../bower_components/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css');
