Experts and amateurs presented their chocolate masterpieces after at least a month of creative thinking and planning. Their cakes lined theSpace this weekend at the Chocolate Lovers Festival, just like any of the venue's everyday galleries.

Chocolate enthusiasts cast their "people's choice" votes for their favorite all-chocolate creations.

Rachel Graham's monster cake was by far the most loved by festival-goers. It received Best in Show from a panel of judges.
