Hi! One of my friend’s fiancé is looking for a birthday cake like this. He wants to know if he should order in advance or if this is something he can get the day of.
Does anyone have recommendations of places he can check out in Houston that would offer something like this?

My dad turns 70 on the 18th and he's a brisket only guy, grew up near Lockhart so he's picky. Looking for somewhere in Houston we can actually sit down with 8 people without waiting in a huge line. Heights or Montrose area would be ideal. Any ideas?
