Vanilla mousse cake in Houston

Where to get (awesome) vanilla mousse cake in Houston?

I need to wrangle up a delicious vanilla mousse cake for a friend's birthday in Houston, TX. Does anyone have any bakery recommendations? I have plenty of time (a couple months), but I don't want to screw this up.

Everyone I know prefers Three Brothers Bakery. They'll do a fine job at any sort of cake.

Best answer: Epicure Café in River Oaks makes an absolutely delicious chocolate mousse cake which my family buys for pretty much all celebratory occasions, I'm sure you could call them at [phone] and ask if they'll make a vanilla version of it for you.

Loved the strawberry cream cake from Rustika Bakery - I specifically requested it for a past birthday and highly recommend the bakery. Since it doubles as a small cafe, you could even pop in and try a slice of the dessert of the day.

I love the generally love the cakes at Empire Café. Don't know if they do special orders.
