To the few people that see this... I wish you a very safe, joyful and Merry Christmas! I hope you get all that you wish for as well as a rich and prosperous 2019!
I received my order of candy canes and drop candy yesterday. It’s all fantastic! The candy lasts so long and has such easy to identify delicious flavors. Those citrus candy canes are an awesome flavor you should keep year round. Thank you!
Love how you constantly come up with original video ideas, Greg. That was so funny when the elephant showed the candy cane to the camera, and handed it to her friend to feed it to her! Merry Christmas!
Mele Kalikimaka Lofty Pursuits, thank u for the gift of showing us your viewers how u make ur awesome candies!!! 😋👏🎅🌲🎄⛄❄ Aloha from Vicky way out in Honolulu Hawaii!!!
I love how you make this look so easy. I know it isn't. I know you're dedicated to your craft and experienced, but you're so experience you make it look deceptively easy (until you get to the fancy designs).
Idk if this is just me but Greg's voice makes me fall asleep at night.. his voice is so soothing almost like "Bob Ross' the painter. I actually alseep listening to Greg and wake up listening to greg. I actually had sleep insomnia before i stated listening to his videos, but now i no longer do. So huge thank you
I never woulda guessed I would be watching a candy channel but with the soft music and your voice over and such it’s so soothing and relaxing, I must say I quite enjoy it and you seem like a cool guy. I have family in Tampa so maybe next time I visit I will have to stop on the way
I used to watch a lot of unwrapped on food network when I was little, and I really enjoyed the candy making episodes. It's been hard to find a show that has the same kind of behind the scenes content about candy making since that show, until i discovered this channel today!
Love that big candy cane. When my son was a kid, it got to be a tradition for him to get a BIG candy cane each year. I would haunt all the candy and specialty stores to find the biggest one available. The bigger the better. One year I found one almost as big as the rhino cane. It lasted him well into the next year. Sadly, the tradition stopped when he went to college. He had no way to get one back to school after the holiday. Couldn't do it now even if I wanted to - he can't have the sweets. Bummer. But it is fun to remember the look on his face the first time. Normally, candy canes were tucked INTO the top of our Christmas stockings. But for him, his stocking was hung from the crook at the top of his candy cane.
I have a strong feeling the white color would stay, just because the candy is pretty viscous at the pulling phase, and the bubbles are very very small so the force on each one is pretty tiny. It’d be interesting to see for sure!
So probably my favorite thing is that I remember the early youtube days where you didnt show ups all of the pulls on the candy hook until people told you they actually count them and would like to see them all. You are still one of my favorite youtubers ❤
As I've gained experience, I've learned to pull the candy into a much longer strand. It's harder to do this without losing the candy to the floor. But now that I can I can make the candy white and much fewer pulls. I only realized this last week.
I have been watching you for a while, but this video did it... This is the video that made me turn notifications on. You are literally the only channel that has achieved this. Congratulations
Ayy Greg I know u might not like request but I'm in Arizona and on the sueharu cactus there is a fruit called prickly pare on it but you could make az shaped candy maybe???
The world needs more people like you! Your calm and happy go lucky warm personality. Did the candy make you like that or did your personality lead you to candy making? The world may never know for sure just never change.
wow, this is great , ur shows are amazing would love to have a great big candy cane. im glad u make candy for everyone and all animals. sharing with friends.
I watched this guy's videos like once a week, then it came to a playlist, then it came to me subscribing and watching these is actually pretty satisfying
I don't know why, but watching you fold the candy on the hook or in the folding/taffy machine seems so satisfying. Just watching it change colors and take on the sheen of the air being mixed into the batch is hypnotic. Have you ever considered making a compilation video if nothing but the candy hook and the folding machine?
I love your channel, and somehow forgot/lost it since last Christmas! I really love your videos, and I wish you the best! Hope your business keeps up well!
I use to work at Wild Adventures a long time ago @ 6:45 that Yellow roller coaster named the boomerang was one of the rides I worked. Thanks Greg Great video.
I loved this. Greg, I loved seeing Shirley with your large candy cane and Graham with the spearmint one! Merry Christmas Lofty friends! Happy New Years!
Merry Christmas to all at Lofty Pursuits and Public Displays of Confection! Can't wait to try your candy I ordered, definitely something to look forward to! Have a phenomenal 2019!
Have I ever told you how much i love your channel? you do such a wonderful job narrating and your shop is glorious! I would love to visit someday in person.
Lol...Graham is the man! He certainly was digging that spearmint! Lol! Great video Greg, as usual! Just when I think you can't possibly do anything cooler, you outdo yourself! Thank you for this! Merry Christmas to you, & your family, & everyone @ Lofty Pursuits!
Been watching your channel for awhile Greg! It's relaxing and informative! Just ordered currant and strawberry candies to Oregon! I cannot wait to try your candy! Have a great day guys!
I always love to watch his videos they always make me smile because they show someone that truly loves his job and loves what he dose and thats vary rare these days
I ordered candy this year for my birthday, the black currant, mixed fruit, and nectar drops They were even better than I thought and black currant is now my favorite flavor of candy
I spent the first 20 year's in Tallahassee, Y'all opened the year I left for Basic Training, unfortunately I haven't been back since, can't wait to visit my hometown sometime soon.
This is so awesome!! I watched someone make peppermint looking through the window with a crowd of people..my dad was holding me, and someone came out and gave us fudge and peppermint samples..I ate mine and my dads lol That was 55 years ago... Id love a job with you..any openings?☺❤✌ Making candy PLUS feeding rhinos??? Yesssss...😍
I love how the elephant had the human hold the candy for him. Here human. Hold this for me. Elephants are so smart and amazing.

I was noticing that too. I wouldn't make it through 5 pulls. Whew.

I think he is used to it
No matter how many times I watch and listen to you explaining the hows and whys of your candy-making process, it never gets boring! Thank you!! 🍭🥰
Awww the animals are so cute!
Dude it like warms my heart to see how much this guy genuinely enjoys making candy. Like this is just so pure and wholesome.

What happens if you put the white hook pulled candy in a vacuum pump? Would it turn back into amber since all of the bubbles went away?
Buy me a nice vacuum bell, and I'd be happy to test the theory.
Lol

I am so glad that he brought the narration and jazz like music back, it adds a very unique and calming video
It was one video :)
I know! I just enjoy this type of editing. AND OMG YOU RESPONDED :D
Nope. I never read the comments
😂
You don't have to add food color and you get a killer whole body workout. I love your videos Greg. Happy Christmas.
I make sure to only watch these right as I’m about to sleep. Very calming, and even inspiring.
Well, I liked the video. Now I better watch it.
He seems like he really enjoys his job and what he does, and it is really nice to see that his job does not bore him
I remember the first video you made with Shirly. I miss the domino wall.
My candy order came in on Christmas Eve! GREAT timing! You all make delicious things. Keep up the delicious work!
A bit closer than I'd have liked to have it. But I'm glad you are happy.
You could use that as a cane, and have a snack as you are walking along!
So probably my favorite thing is that I remember the early youtube days where you didnt show ups all of the pulls on the candy hook until people told you they actually count them and would like to see them all.

This video brought me so many good feelings. Thank you.

Ayy Greg I know u might not like request but I'm in Arizona and on the sueharu cactus there is a fruit called prickly pare on it but you could make az shaped candy maybe???
Prickly pear is absolutely wonderful. Even it he didn't make an Arizona themed candy, it would definitely be a flavor to play with.
It's hard to make a flavor youve never tasted. I'll have to try some some day.
At az u can pick them up anywhere really at the Target next to me has prickly pear ice cream
Prickly pear and saguaro fruit are two different fruits but both are delicious. It would be awesome to see something like that. I’m in Arizona too.
The world needs more people like you! Your calm and happy go lucky warm personality. Did the candy make you like that or did your personality lead you to candy making? The world may never know for sure just never change.
You should maybe make some sweets for burns night its a Scottish holiday in February I'll probably let you know when it is exactly closer to the month
Its on the exact same day in January every year?
Oh my goodness!! Did not expect for a real rhinoceros to be the customer! What a sweet surprise!

I love the tune from "I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" playing when the candy cane is delivered to the client.

If white is made by air bubbles reflecting light, could you change the color by changing the light?
