Ok. :) 1. Я приготовлю (или "сделаю") пирог. In case of cooking food you can use both verbs - (при)готовить и (с)делать. 2. Я приготовлю (сделаю) пирог. But here if you want to have a "perfective" meaning, you also need to somehow indicate with additional words that you will have made the cake by a certain moment in the future. Otherwise this phrase does not differ from the first one. For example: Я уже приготовлю пирог к твоему приходу (I will have made the cake by the time you come = The cake will be ready by that time). 3. Я бы приготовил (сделал) пирог. This phrase as such can refer to both an unreal action in the past and a possible/desired (conditional) action in the present. If you want to clearly refer it to the past like in your English sentence, you need to add some indication to the past. For example: Я бы приготовил пирог, но я очень устал и лег спать = I would have made a cake, but I was very tired and I went to bed. (it happened in the past) See that the same Russian sentence can refer to the present conditional: Я бы приготовил пирог, но у меня нет муки. In English it will give you: I would make a cake, but I have no flour. (now) Hope it helps.
