What do the Shark Tank Investors say about Dollop Gourmet

Robert Herjavec tells her she is the definition of don’t know when to quit, but he does not like frosting. He’s not passionate about the product, but he loves her. He is still out.

Barbara Corcoran wants to make an offer for Lori and her, at 30% so that there is enough in it for both of them. She wants Lori to sell it on QVC, but Lori goes out. Barbara goes with the same offer of 30% without Lori. Heather asks Barbara if she will do 25% and Barbara agrees. They have a deal.

Kevin O’Leary is the number one cupcake guy, and he wants to make her a deal. He will give her $75,000 for 33%. He is going to have to give up some equity to his partner, and she appreciates the offer. She thinks it is an excellent offer.

Lori Greiner doesn’t think this product is a QVC product, so she is out.

Mark Cuban goes with his gut, but he won’t do it even though he loves icing. He would eat the product too often. Mark says he will be a customer.
