    1.38 pm.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    After 1.05 PM the rate at which he decorates the cakes is 10 - 5 = 5 cakes per 3 minutes = 5/3 cakes per minute. At 1.08 pm he has made 10 cupcakes.

    At 1.08 he has to decorate another 50 cakes so the time he will take to do these is 50 / 5/3 = 50 * 3/5 = 30 minutes.

    So the time when he finishes 60 cupcakes is 1.08 + 30

    = 1.38 pm.
