9 times out of 10, if not 99 out of 100, just putting the Cake files into your webroot will work perfectly, with the exception of mod_rewrite issues. I don't really understand where the problem is coming from in this case, but it's more likely to be an issue with your Apache configuration than with Cake itself. I've never tried hosting a website from the My Documents folder before, I know it's possible but I've always had more success hosting in a separate folder elsewhere on the drive. Perhaps this will work in your case also.
You will also find that the IBM Tutorials are out of date, and depending on which version of the Blog tutorial you use, that may be also. You didn't mention which version of Cake you're trying to use but I definitely recommend the 1.2 pre-beta release.
