We have used Masterpiece Cookie Dough twice. They are a fantastic company to work with - great people and great customer service. We are in California also so I don't know if they have reps anywhere else in the country.
They do not require that you buy in cases. Each order is packed separately and the student gets whatever he ordered. You do not have to worry about opening cases and making sure the order gets put together - they do it for you before it is delivered to the school. Once they make the delivery of boxes on pallets, we take the boxes and arrange in alpha order by students name. It is by far the easiest fundraiser we do.
Each item in the catalog (cookie dough in buckets, cookie dough in individual balls, cheesecakes, pizza, churros, etc.) is priced the same at $13. Tallying the orders is easy because everything is the same price.
We just finished this fundraiser at our school. We have about 825 students and we didn't do anything beyond sending home the flyers in the weekly packet, putting up a few signs, sending out an email. We collected the packets, tallied the money and sent the order forms off for processing. Total administrative time was about 8 hours and we grossed about $10,000 (we will get 50% of that).
While we love Masterpiece, I know Sally Foster is also doing cookie dough now and there's is very similar Masterpiece and I think they deliver the dough packed by student order too.
I've heard some cookie dough companies will break cases and will ship directly to the piece. Does anyone have any experience with this? If so, where can I find them? [/QB]
Masterpiece cookie dough will have orders boxed by student, not by cases, in California (they are located here, I think)
Our school just used them. I'll try to get more specifics.

I did tons of serching for cookie dough companies that work in our area and the best I could do was only getting 6 tubs in a case. We use some of the extras as a reward for the class that sells the most. The rest we sell to staff, because most of them don't want to order from one child and get roped into buying from all of them, or keep on hand for teacher appreciation type events. I thought we would have a lot more extras than we did.
The irony of commitment is that it’s deeply liberating-in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life. --Anne Morris
We used Savory foods for our cookie dough fundraiser last year. We only ordered what we needed...nothing was left over. Savory only services Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and portions of Wisconsin, Kentucky and Pennsylvania.
We are currently doing a cookie dough fundraiser where we have to order full cases (8 tubs in a case) for each flavor. That means we'll have to order an extra 50 or so tubs of dough (after we round up to 8)!!! I've heard some cookie dough companies will break cases and will ship directly to the piece. Does anyone have any experience with this? If so, where can I find them?
