Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady turned 45 on Wednesday.

But his Bucs teammate, running back Leonard Fournette, couldn’t resist poking fun at his quarterback’s age. Though Fournette did commemorate Brady’s legendary status via a birthday cake.

The cake is a goat head design, with GOAT standing for greatest of all time. Fournette posted a photo of the cake on Twitter. He had it delivered Tuesday to the Bucs’ training facility, according to ESPN, and captioned his tweet with, “Happy early bday to my old head.”

Kristina Lavallee and her team at The Cake Girl in Tampa made the cake in four hours, ESPN reported.

“He literally just said, ‘I want a goat cake. And I said, ‘An actual 3D goat?’” Lavallee told the outlet. “At first, I was like, ‘What? For Tom?’ No, no way.

Fournette requested vanilla cake with buttercream icing, ESPN reported, which makes it unlikely Brady would get a bite due to it being in conflict with his TB12 diet.
