1960s Debby Fields: From Mitts to The Baking Dream

Brace for a ride down memory lane: Debby Fields, standing amid the baseball action, mitt in hand, capturing the gaze of male players on the bench. But she’s not just a spectator—she’s also a force in the culinary world!

Inspired by her passion for baking, Debby is behind the mouthwatering legacy of Mrs. Fields Bakeries, which she started with her husband in the late 1970s, turning a $50 investment into a global empire of delectable treats. While different companies have since acquired it, she works as its spokesperson. Still, Debby’s innovative spirit and love for cookies continue to leave a sweet imprint on the world.
