By Feona Morrison

INDULGING in a slice of creamy, decadent cheesecake has long been a source of delight for dessert enthusiasts.

For years, cheesecakes have been a staple in the world of desserts, captivating taste buds and bringing bright smiles. However, in recent times, a new cheesecake business has emerged, revolutionising the way people experience this beloved dessert in Guyana.

Tootie Fruities, founded in 2019 as a home-based venture by mother of three, Mandy Field, has now expanded to its first store located in the heart of Georgetown.

Surrounded by her daughters, Samaiya and Jasmine, Mandy officially opened her storefront on Tuesday at the Bella Vista Mall at Lot 5 Duncan Street, Bel Air Park, Georgetown, just in time for Valentine’s Day.

In an interview with the Guyana Chronicle, Mandy attributed the success of her business to her loyal patrons who have supported it from all over the nation. With the establishment of her first store, she hopes to expand further across the country as her brand becomes increasingly recognised.

With its inviting ambience and mouthwatering aroma of freshly baked goods, stepping into Tootie Fruities shop feels like entering dessert heaven. The cozy and inviting ambience, coupled with comfortable seating, provides the perfect setting for customers to enjoy their slices of heaven. Mandy, an expert in her craft, takes pride in creating visually appealing cheesecakes with rich and decadent flavours.

Tootie Fruities offers a variety of cheesecake flavours, including salted caramel, cream cheese icing, butter pecans, espresso, cherry, rum and raisin, chocolate, cookies and cream, strawberry, passionfruit, and blueberry. Mandy also prepares no-bake cheesecake cups, cheesecake shots served in miniature glasses with alcohol, and no-bake alcohol cheesecakes. Customers are free to choose their preferred flavours.

In addition to expanding her cheesecake flavours, Mandy is also working on adding more fruit flavours to her product line, starting with the Tootie Fruities brand of salad dressings. Her meticulous attention to detail ensures that every cheesecake slice is a marvel of flavour and texture.

To place orders, customers can contact Mandy via phone at +592 679 5111 or through her social media pages on Facebook and Instagram. Walk-in customers are welcomed from Monday to Friday from 10 am to 6 pm and on Saturday from 11 am to 6 pm.

Tootie Fruities’ journey from a home-based venture to a thriving cheesecake haven demonstrates Mandy’s dedication to her craft and her commitment to providing delicious desserts to the people of Guyana.
