I am soon to be opening my own bakery and am currently developing my wedding cake contract. I want to state that the room where the cake will be set-up should be cooled before delivery, but to what temperature? I was thinking 76, any help?
Just my opinion, but that may be making your contract a bit too complicated. It may be that you want to evaluate each situation. There are some situations where it wouldn't be necessary. Also, it is highly unlikely the bride has much control over that. They can try, but you know how things can go wrong.
you could make a recommendation regarding the room temperature with the stipulation that if the room is too hot then you will not guarantee the cake (as lemoncurd mentioned). also, if this is a concern for you (since you live in florida, i'd imagine it's hot there most of the year) you could also stipulate that someone needs to sign for the cake and that photos will be taken upon delivery... just to cover your own hiney if you end up with a bridezilla!
When I made wedding cakes I would always ask at what time was the room available and if someone was on premiss.
If there was no one, I would then tell them that someone had to meet me to give final approval on the cake or I wouldn't drop it off.
So, if you get someone to sign off on the paperwork that the cake was set up and fine...and someone then decides to fiddle with it or the room temp...you're covered.
oh and ALWAYS take a pic...several sides ...of your cake already set up for extra insurance

I do exactly the same and never drop off a cake without a signature.
