Waterfalls Magazine – Nestled in the heart of Austin Street Campbellville is a hidden gem that has been creating waves in the culinary world – Tootie Fruities. Founded in 2019 by the dynamic 40-year-old Mandy Felicia Field, this home-based business has become a beacon of resilience, determination, and mouthwatering delights.
Amid the tumultuous backdrop of the emerging COVID-19 pandemic, Mandy embarked on her entrepreneurial journey. Undeterred by the global challenges, she turned her love for cooking, baking, and creating delicious treats into a thriving business.
In an exclusive interview with The Waterfalls, Mandy shared her unwavering determination to make a positive impact despite the uncertainties that loomed.
She said, “Despite these challenges, I was determined to pursue my passion and make a positive impact…”
For Mandy, baking is not just a culinary pursuit; it’s a form of self-expression. It allows her to weave a tapestry of flavours, textures, and designs, transforming each creation into a work of art. This passion took root and blossomed into Tootie Fruities, a business that pays homage to her late mother and fulfills a dream she held close to her heart.

“My love for cooking, baking and creating delicious treats has always been a passion of mine. The act of baking is also a form of self-expression, allowing me to experiment with flavours, textures, and designs. I’ve always found baking to be a therapeutic and calming activity. As my passion for baking grew, I started to dream of turning my hobby into a business and after the death of my mom, I wished to create something she would love to see me doing for myself and making her proud.”
Adapting to the ever-changing landscape of the food industry and maintaining impeccable customer service are pillars of success Mandy holds dear.
“The journey of being a food business owner has been challenging but rewarding. I have learned so much about the industry, about myself, and about what it takes to run a successful business.”

She has faced the demanding nature of the business with resilience, learning not only about the industry but also about herself and the intricacies of running a successful enterprise.
Tootie Fruities has set ambitious long-term goals. Mandy envisions it as the premier destination for innovative cheesecakes in the community, with aspirations of expanding into a chain franchise. Beyond that, she aims to become a leader in the cake baking industry, setting trends, and raising the bar for quality and innovation.
The menu at Tootie Fruities is a tantalizing array of cheesecakes in various flavours, sizes, and both bake and no-bake options. Elevating the experience further, they offer alcohol-infused cheesecake shooters and decadent alcohol-infused cheesecakes that cater to the diverse tastes of their clientele.
The business has not only satisfied the sweet cravings of individuals but has also left its mark on a spectrum of events. From State House gatherings to graduations, corporate events, private parties, weddings, and collaborations with renowned restaurants like Soho, Dolce, Tribe, and Fireside, Tootie Fruities has become synonymous with culinary excellence.
Operating seven days a week from 10 am to 6 pm, Mandy’s dedication goes beyond the conventional boundaries of time. She often finds herself baking late into the night, ensuring that every product that leaves her kitchen is nothing short of perfection. As a mother of three, a wife, and the youngest of six siblings, Mandy’s journey is a testament to the power of passion and perseverance.
Indulge in the symphony of flavours, innovation, and dedication that defines Tootie Fruities—a celebration of sweetness crafted with love.
