  24. Lone Ranger all the way! It’s beautiful artistry – and not just cuz I love The Depp- I can also vouch for the taste of cake made by Tim! Delicious!

  34. All the cakes are amazing and it took real artistic talent to make them but after looking at them all repeatedly my vote goes to the
    BABY BLOCKS CAKE!

  45. Loved the Lone Ranger cake since I first seen it.!! Timbo does amazing work and has done nothing but perfected it over time.!! Great Job.!!

  50. The Lone Ranger gets my vote. It was well thought-out and executed. Great details, colors were perfect. An exceptional cake done in modeling chocolate

  58. The baby blocks cake gets my vote, it’s perfect the colors of the modeling chocolate are perfect and blend so well together. It’s Beautiful!

  70. Johnny Depp would be thrilled with Tonto. The baby blocks are adorable I just wish fondant hadn’t been part of it, but the wine bottle is my favorite.

  78. The baby blocks cake is neatly done and looks amazing!! Baby blocks cake by Monica Mancini has my vote!!!

  105. I love the LONE RANGER cake. Amazingly talented cake designer!!!! Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors.

  109. They all are amazing cakes executes perfectly! But I have a soft spot for Johnny depp and vote for tonto by cakes by timbo.

  112. My vote goes to Tim Sullivan for the AMAZING Tonto…the Lone Ranger. Your detail and design is so real that it is unreal! You have an amazing future Timbo…blessings to your creativity and drive! I can’t wait to see more of your work! 😉

  117. absolutely Lone Ranger Cake by Tim Sullivan of Cakes by Timbo. They quality of workmanship in this is second to none. Its the quality of art that you are compelled to look at again and again. Amazing talent

  129. That Pinocchio Cake is so spot on, like it stepped right off the Disney screen. Beautiful cake!!!

  143. Pinocchio Pinocchio PInnochio – how in the work did you get that sort of suspended detail?

  145. They’re all amazing but the Pinochio cake impresses me the most because of how he stands up, seemingly on one foot! That seems to take a special talent to achieve that balance entirely with edible ingredients.

  148. It’s such a hard choice they are all so good, but the baby blocks caked just catches my eye I can’t stop looking at it it’s so pretty.

  165. Vote goes to the Lone Ranger Cake it takes the use of modeling chocolate to a whole new plateau and displays a works of endless possibility.

  167. I like Tonto and Pinocchio both most of all but if I have to choose only one, then Tonto gets my vote…”final answer”!!

  193. The Baby Block Cake is my choice for best cake. Although, all of them are amazing and each one a work of art. Great job to all the talented and artistic decorators!

  206. The Lone Ranger cake for sure, the detail is amazing, just look at the feathers!!!! they are all awesome, but Tonto gets my vote!!

  212. They are all so fantastic but I have to go with the baby blocks the colors are amazing, I would’ve loved that for my baby shower.

  218. They are all wonderful and it is very tough to decide but….I am really drawn to the baby blocks cake. Love everything about it

  219. They are all amazing cakes, but I have to go with the Lone Ranger cake by Tim Sullivan. Great job getting the cake to look so realistic! Would love to see the step by step pics of the process!!

  225. The Lone Ranger Tonto cake is as FRESH as fresh can be. That is not just talent, that is GIFTED indeed. The others are nice, but that is the HOTNESS FOR SURE.

  226. All of the cakes are beautiful and so detailed. But my vote definitely goes to the Tonto Cake!!!!!!! Beautiful

  236. Cakes by Timbo’s Lone Ranger! Awesome sculpting and painting. Very realistic. However, amazing cakes done by all 🙂

  251. I know a lot of time and effort was put in by these very talented people, but Baby Blocks by far is the most beautiful, intricate work of art. It caught my eye immediately and without a doubt wins my vote!!!

    All are just fantastic. Top 2 in my book are the Wine and Lone Ranger but the detail and complexity of the Lone Ranger win out

    Lone Ranger it is

  424. All fabulous works of art. Choosing just one I have to go with Timbo’s Tonto cake. Awesome work!

  429. I kept scrolling through all of them over and over again, I just couldn’t decide. They are all beautiful. But, I’m going to go with the Baby Blocks, the colors are beautiful and the flowers are so delicate. And I want something like that for my babies 1st birthday. Goodluck everyone, we got some really talented artists out there.

  430. They’re all wonderful–the gremlin is too cute! But my vote goes to The Lone Ranger also. WOW!

  442. I absolutely love the Lone Ranger cake! When I saw it I thought it was a random picture someone had uploaded but it’s a cake! My vote goes there.

  445. They are all great, but I’m voting for the “wine lover’s” cake. I really like the details 🙂

  455. Wow, great work by everyone! As I scrolled down I thought with every cake, this one wins. By the bottom, I was simply awestruck by the talent. But I’m drawn to the Lone Ranger just because it is so different than cakes we usually see. So that cake gets my vote in a contest that could be won by any of the finalists. Super!
