One Alabama bakery has created a groom’s cake that will go down in history as one of the all-time greats, just like the scene it almost perfectly recreates.

Cobalt Confections delivered the cake over the weekend to newly-married Billy Gilley of Chelsea, Ala.

The cake is an incredible recreation of Auburn’s Jordan-Hare Stadium in the moments before Chris Davis’ (in)famous 109-yard missed field goal return against rival Alabama in last year’s Iron Bowl.
