Suburban Atlanta newlywed Eric Prater turned the Big 3-0 on Monday, and in honor of the milestone, his lovely wife Nicole worked all day perfecting his birthday cake.

Not only did she make the fondant herself, she drew and painted everything by hand.

We post spectacular cakes all the time, but what makes this one worthy of special mention is the fact that Nicole is neither a baker nor a chef by profession!

What a talented young lady! (And a real keeper, for sure!)
