Here's a pic of Tony and James from that magazine article - https://i.sli.mg/HFm3mp.jpg

Here's a pic of James setting up the cake (from his Instagram) - https://i.sli.mg/ossGyc.jpg

Here's a close up of the cake along with a comment from James saying "Family birthday tradition" - https://i.sli.mg/nzRPEB.jpg

Ok that cake is fucked up. We all know it looks like a baby's willy. Or a very cold guy's willie. Or a micro-willy. Or the willy of a classical sculpture back when they thought small willies were better.

Whatev, it's a very strange willy and it's their freaking birthday cake. I can't read the blurbitt comments if anyone has the original, maybe it can explain this embarassing willy cake. Anyway, it's strange - family tradition? Are James and Tony Family? Tony's mother was greek (Kokoris) and Alefantis is a greek name. Is that what he means?

And here is another birthday they shared, I presume from last year - https://i.sli.mg/7ERolV.jpg

There's Tony with his spiffy red handkerchief to match his usual spiffy red shoes. It's obviously the same event where this took place - https://i.sli.mg/9GZxYI.jpg

But again what the hell is that cake? - https://i.sli.mg/WdsGtz.jpg

James describes it as studio olafur eliasson- inspired glacier cake. No clue what that means. But it's an ugly damned cake.

Crackpot alert - What did that cake remind me of? This graphic from The Apes - >https://i.sli.mg/YX9Ea8.jpg
