Just tell them you are visiting them regardless of what they think and you already have ways of dealing with any security that gets in the way.

Look...you're a long time user, a long time forum member and an advocate for Cakewalk products. You should approach a visit and tour of the facilities as a visiting dignitary. You are...quite literally...a "Pro From Dover" to cop a phrase from "Mash" the movie. Breeze in...act like you know ol Henry J personally and simply take charge. Become an inevitability. Use your bravado. Heck, if that doesn't work use your "Bwavado" and tell them you've come to "Welease Bawabus". Dazzle them with bull ****. Zig when they zag. Don't take no for an answer.

And do text us from jail and let us know how it went.

I'd approach it like this if it were me: "I bought a VS-700, you should be kissing my feet and making me a sandwich" ;)

Tell them you brought a powered vuvuzela with you and know how to use it if necessary!

Tell them you're doing a Health & Safety inspection.

Not that I know anything at all about this, mind you, but if you had the idea to ship yourself to Cakewalk inside a giant cake, they now frown on that sort of thing. Obviously, I wouldn't know this from first hand experience. No. I also would not have any idea of how uncomfortable it can be in there.
 
I mean, you think "Cake" and you ask yourself, "How bad could that be?" Let me tell you. It's bad. First of all, it can get pretty hot. You might have to shed a few important layers to avoid drowning in your own sweat. At least, I would imagine that would be the case. I wouldn't know, of course. Secondly, if you didn't have claustrophobia before, you will have it now. It's like being buried alive, only without any of the positive aspects. It's just you, absolute darkness, cramping muscles, and the realization that you left your phone in the truck. It's a bit like a sensory deprivation tank, without enough of the deprivation. I would have liked a lot more deprivation. I mean, I think I would have, because, clearly, I have never been in that situation. 
 
It also takes a lot longer than you might think to get a large cake past Reception, into the freight elevator and into the main conference room. I mean, did everybody need to get a selfie in front of the cake? It would also take a while for the guys from Shipping/Receiving to wrestle the cake onto the conference room table. If someone, who obviously wasn't me, badly miscalculated the length of time required and drank a bit too much coffee before climbing into the cake, that could be a problem. The three bowls of chili may not have been the best idea, either. 
 
You would think that flipping the top open and slowly emerging from the cake would be a whimsical, celebratory and spectacular event, right? That may be how it is in the movies, but in practice, the effect is somewhat different. Ok, someone in that situation be just a tad overeager to get out of that cake. First of all, the top of that cake is a lot heavier than you might think. Also, given enough force and urgency, you can break right through the sides. I mean, I assume that someone might be able to do that. The fact that this person may have been too hot in there to keep the costume on should not be held against him. Besides, most of the salient bits were covered in frosting. It's not his fault that the conference room table was so slippery or that a certain executive was seated directly in front of the cake. In all of the confusion, screaming, and cries of, "My eyes! My eyes!", it's understandable that certain biological imperatives could no longer be denied.
 
I mean, I suppose that might have been the case. I wouldn't know since I was not there and had nothing whatsoever to do with whatever did or did not happen.
 
Just, don't send yourself in a cake.

Now I have this song stuck in my head...
 
Someone's Knockin' At The Door.
Somebody's Ringin' The Bell.
Someone's Knockin' At The Door.
Somebody's Ringin' The Bell.
Do Me A Favor,
Open The Door And Let 'Em In.
