In this way regardless of forgetting having photographic evidence of safe setting up of your cake, a manager at the venue is then now responsible for the safe keeping of your creation, by signature saying it was received and set up and in good order. Order forms from a customer need to be confirmed that the order is correct, as well as the order signed for. That would solve the problem, wouldn't it? Obviously photographic evidence would help if there was a query. Even a photograph taken on a mobile phone would help. Keep a disposable camera in the emergency repair kit too, just in case.
In my experience, very few venue managers are willing to sign off on a cake. I've had a wedding planner or two agree to it but usually it's just me & the florist in the hall.
