How do I get the Bake console for CakePHP?

Question

I am having trouble getting the Bake console. I am on windows running xampp. I'm doing the IBM cakphp tutorial.

Here is my directory:
C:\\
  xampp
     htdocs
        ibm2(a test project--orginally called cakephp)
          app
          cake
          vendors
          (etc)

It says to To use Bake,

cd into the /webroot/app directory and launch the Cake Console: ../cake/console/cake bake. You should be presented with a screen that looks like Figure 2.

So I write in my command prompt till I am at:

C:\xampp\htdocs\ibm2\app>

Then I type

../cake/console/cake bake

but I get this error:

'..' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

What am I doing wrong? I use the window's command prompt
