  • A custom order for Lofty Pursuits and a challenge. We succeeded on our second try. We put a Calla Lilly in a piece of blackberry flavored candy. This is good, since eating the Calla Lilly itself would be a bad idea, it's a toxic flower.

    The little graphic in the top left corner of what you're putting down is very helpful to visualize just what you are doing. I sometimes worry that watching you make candy will get old, but then every time you seem to keep my interest. I think you'll be at 1M subscribers in no time.

    you should make candy canes... with the image of a candy cane on the inside.
    no one would see it, you say? I beg to differ! I break off bits of the candy cane as i eat it, cause i don't like having to hold the thing or have it hanging from my mouth while I suck on it! It would make for an awesome surprise with candy canes! (it does kind of ruin the whole, stuffing the trim into the butt of the candy roll thing, but it would totally be worth it!)

    The longer videos are very enjoyable and, after seeing the majority of your videos, I am still glued to the screen to watch. The addition of the image you were building and what steps were/weren't done was also very engaging. Hope you do more like this.

    I LOVE watching your videos! My maternal Grandmother was a renowned cook and my Mom was pretty talented as well, I think I inherited their interests in cooking, baking, etc.. I find your videos NOT ONLY INCREDIBLY ENTERTAINING AND RELAXING, but educating as well. I must say, though, listening to you talk is like listening to one of the best public speakers, you add in little anecdotes at the perfect times and you speak at a good pace and speak clearly. Please continue making plenty of videos, my Autistic son enjoys your videos as much as I do and we often watch a video of yours before bed at night, such a relaxing and enjoyable experience, thank you and God bless! 😊

    Lofty Pursuits, these videos, whether they're this long or a little shorter, are such a gift!! I just finished up my last semester of college and watched your videos almost DAILY to get through this very tough race to the finish. The lovely music and great stories & information and wonderful craftsmanship just put me in a good mood, pumped and raring to go to work on my own craft and make more people happy! I hope so much to come see y'all in person (and you're way up there on my dream clients list for my illustration freelancing :) ) .

    You're getting much better at the music/narration volume balance - not too loud, not too soft. 👍🏻 much less distracting from the actual candy-making.

    As has been said Calla Lilly seems to have collected many meaning over the years: beauty, rebirth, holiness, faithful... Also, it's a great symbol for a wedding; since it also symbolizes the joy of marriage. But one of my favorites is its use at Easter to represent Jesus’ Resurrection; somehow tying all these meanings together.

I was wondering Greg if you've ever tried to put a face in the candy ? On various videos and on the website there is a portrait of you near the cooling table and I was just curious if it's possible to put your portrait in the candy 🍭

    Side note: Thank you for putting the design in the top left of the screen and highlighting which part of the design you are doing. It was very helpful in understanding how you made the calla lilly.
