Why won't the database connection work in the console with cakephp?

Question

I am trying to use bake with cakephp. I have gotten to the cake welcome screen below:

Welcome to CakePHP v2.3.0-RC2 Console
---------------------------------------------------------------
App : app
Path: /Users/philip7899/Desktop/Philips Server 2/blog/app/
---------------------------------------------------------------
Interactive Bake Shell

[V]iew
[C]ontroller
[P]roject
[F]ixture
[T]est case
[Q]uit
What would you like to Bake? (D/M/V/C/P/F/T/Q)

I type in C and it asks me about my database configuration:

Bake Controller
Path: /Users/philip7899/Desktop/Philips Server 2/blog/app/Controller/
---------------------------------------------------------------
Use Database Config: (default/test) 
[default] > 

I press enter to confirm using the "default" database configuration. I have pasted it below:

public $default = array(
    'datasource' => 'Database/Mysql',
    'persistent' => false,
    'host' => 'localhost',
    'login' => 'root',
    'password' => 'root',
    'database' => 'cakephp_blog',
    'prefix' => '',

    //'encoding' => 'utf8',
);

I then receive the following errors:

Warning Error: PDO::__construct(): [2002] No such file or directory 
(trying to connect via unix:///var/mysql/mysql.sock) in 
[/Users/philip7899/Desktop/Philips Server 2/blog/lib/Cake/Model/Datasource/Database/Mysql.php, line 157]

I have spent the past several hours searching the internet and trying to figure this out and I haven't been able to fix it. I know the database configuration is working because the website itself is functioning perfectly. How can I get cake to work in the console and let me proceed? Thanks.

class DATABASE_CONFIG {

public $default = array(
    'datasource' => 'Database/Mysql',
    'persistent' => false,
    'host' => 'localhost',
    'login' => 'root',
    'password' => 'admin',// your password
    'database' => 'gps',
    'prefix' => '',
    //'encoding' => 'utf8',
);

public $test = array(
    'datasource' => 'Database/Mysql',
    'persistent' => false,
    'host' => 'localhost',
    'login' => 'user',
    'password' => 'password',
    'database' => 'test_database_name',
    'prefix' => '',
    //'encoding' => 'utf8',
);

} you try this on database.php in config folder
