It’s now a matter of ideally finding a supplier that can help make the cookies for me. However it doesn’t seem like an easy place to start. I rang up and spoke briefly to the nice people at Dough Dough (Muffin makers), as they get someone else to make their muffins as well. They said it took a while to find the right supplier for them, one that had a decent product, good price and didn’t want to deliver the product by the forklift because they want you to have that many of them! I remember calling up a few places a good year or two ago and one of the places wanted for me to have a minimum order of over 1000 cookies! Considering I haven”t sold anywhere near close to that at all it would be a bit of a order getting that many and then trying to sell them all at once before they expired!
They did make a couple of good suggestions about trying Food from Britain people, which led me to the British Cake and Confectionary Alliance, which have now become the Food and Drink Federation. Though I called too late for them, will try again tomorrow. Also they suggested the Speciality and Fine Food Fair, which have a look on the net is on in a couple of days! How”s that for good timing. Normally I find out about these things two days after the event! So will be going along to the Fair to check out suppliers and hear some good advice from many of the exhibitors and shows there.
