Quelle surprise (wink wink)!

This is the first time I've ever seen "toot sweet" used. The more you learn :)

To be clear, it’s a jokey informal English language term, not a standard one.

There's also the UK practice of deliberately mangling French for comedic effect, as in Del Boy's cries of "Bain Marie!" and "chateuneuf-de-paper!" on 1980s TV. Saying "Toot sweet" can fit right into that bucket.
