- HELLO FRIENDS!! Thank you so much to all who entered the hard candy giveaway - the entry form is now closed & we will be contacting the winners in the coming weeks!
A big thank you to Greg & the team at Lofty Pursuits for helping us out with this video; make sure to check out their RUclips channel here! / loftypursuits
Over the past few (years, honestly), I've watched other people make custom hard candy from scratch - oddly satisfying pulling, stretching, rolling, and chopping - with adorably tiny results. So, after a lot of watching from the sidelines, I decided that I needed to try this out for myself - how hard could it actually be? So I ventured to Lofty Pursuits candy store in Tallahassee, FL where Greg & the team taught me how to sling candy - old school style. We made custom flavored drop candy in a press, and two different batches of image candy - one watermelon, and one tiny disgruntled alien. What do you guys think of our final candies?

HELLO FRIENDS!! a huge thank you to greg & the team at lofty pursuits for letting me invade their candy shop for a day! what do you guys think of our disgruntled little alien? what should we name him? if you're interested in receiving a bag of hims, make sure you enter our subscriber giveaway before aug 10!! if you were to make your own image candy - what design would you do? xoxo, saf
Love this! I've always wanted to do that! I would make a 🐸
Hi
I'd do a snake design ^^
Jeremy
Frankie should be the name 😂 I'd make a chili faced candy that would tasted like 'FIREBALLS' and sour apples! 🥰✨🤗✨🥰
My dad taught Safiya Nygaard how to make candy!? I'm in a Safiya Nygaard video!? It still doesn't feel real. It was so amazing getting to meet Safiya, and I'm glad she enjoyed it too.
- Greg's daughter
You were great!! I hope Greg gives you the excess candy :)
Your dad is great! I loved watching him and Saf. So cool you got to be in it too!
You were great and so is ur dad
Jane, I just adore your Dad! He's amazing! When I saw that Saf had made a hard candy making video I hoped it would be @ Lofty Persuits! I've been watching your Dad's videos for YEARS now, and he's just an amazing rennaisance man. Is there anything he can't do, or doesn't know something about? It sure seems like he is all but omniscient! You are so lucky to have a dad like that! I really hope that you enjoyed your day with Saf & Ty, I know I sure would! They are FUN!
Do you know jake's @
Safiya is basically Barbie with the amount of jobs she has mastered. an icon moment
Lol mastered is a bit far 😂 but I agree
New series, Saf as Barbie. Can't wait to see her as an astronaut.
If Barbie could make her into a doll, that would be great
ruclips.net/video/a8fVJaHyS60/видео.html vlog :)
@@cccookiexc3845 can't wait to see her as president 🫡
Jake’s reassurance is just so sweet omg- I’d cry if it where me messing up and him been optimistic
Something a lot of candy makers I watch say is, essentially, "it's just candy". No one is living or dying on whether it comes out perfectly, or even right. It's a delightfully "hakuna matata" outlook.
As someone who does have a job like that I am filled with envy about those kinds of jobs.
All my hair is falling out!
lol 🥲
21:41 “Went for area 51, landed in vagas instead “…i love saf and tye’s humour 😂😂
Some fun names for the last candy are “The extra’pear’restrial” and “Pear-anormal Activity” 👽🛸
+Thx for all the positive comments :D
Oooooh. I like those names 🤣 lol. That's cool😎
Pear-a-normal Activity is a winner in my book.
@@bergamotblonde1645 I'm not even going to try...I agree, Theflowerdude
has the winning name with that one, it's adorable!! 💚👽💚
yes to the names
These are definitely my favorite names so far 🎉
from soapmaking, jewelry smelting, boba shops to candy making, safiya is just completing all her dream jobs
Right!! I wonder what else is next
Is she going to become a mermaid next lol
@@tianaantonie10 well there are people who are professional mermaids. Saf could design her own tail and have it made before going to mermaid school and then giving a performance 🧜♀️
@@jmarshal never thought of that damnnn
@@jmarshal that would definitely be an entertaining video
Pear is an underrated flavour. I had a pear flavoured Fanta once and it was so good, I also tried a pear flavoured hard candy and it was an equally awesome flavour.
Tbh, I don't think I've ever had anything in artificial pear flavour
I did not expect to encounter two people who can meet Safiya's raw chaos energy, in the same location. Very good episode!
haha, Jake seemed to be enjoying himself. It's always nice when there's good chemistry with the hosting people. The people at Lofty Pursuits seem lovely.
noticed this too safiya brings such good contagious energy
Yesss Jake was so nice
Jake is cute af. And his voice is dreamy. 😘
**runs away**
Agree agree ❕
@@AngryKittens Finally someone said it!!! I really need to know if he has Instagram 😍
Saify’s has “I’ve never done this but how hard can it be!?” Energy at all times and I’m here for it now and always
Even if she knows it will be hard she goes for it which is awesome!
Gives me the same vibes like the catchphrase from Denitslava Makeup "What could possibly go wrong?" They should do a collab
“where have all the anvils gone?”
Loved the Gilmore girls reference ❤
Safiya is like the journalist who does all the fun activity segments on the news except way cooler & way more entertaining
Saf: “its pretty cool 😎 “
Greg: “no, were you paying attention its hot!” 😂
Saf: “oh, yea its hot its hOt”
Saw that too🤣

Such a dad joke, love it!😂❤

Greg has clearly taught several daughters to make candy. His patience and kindness is unmatched!
ur comment is so casually sexist for no reason lol
@@whitykitty2651 How?
@@whitykitty2651 this just in: men interacting with children in a nice manner is sexist
@@whitykitty2651 You can see in the video itsself he has a daughter, did you not watch the video? Safiya is also, to my knowledge, a cisgendered woman. Thus, daughters.
@@whitykitty2651 dude this is the most "i like pancakes/so you hate waffles?" response ever
Greg, Jake and Chris are AMAZING artists! Saf looked SO focused on getting it right...which is understandable considering how seriously tough this looks
I’m gonna speak for everyone here and say I would die for everyone at Lofty Pursuits. You can just feel their beautiful energy! You couldn’t have picked a better place to learn this impressive craft.
I love how casual Greg is with giving you warnings “you might burn your skin. 🤷🏻♂️”
Well, I guess that means that's a normal thing in the making of candy 😂
He lives and breaths his job.. I know hoe that feels with restaurant kitchens. Grease burns be real. I tell everyone I train how to minimize them but eyyyy shit happens sometimes
Greg looks and sounds exactly how I'd imagine a friendly candy salesman
Yes he does like you want to hug him constantly and smells like cotton candy 🥰
I was thinking exactly the same thing
After rewatching this video multiple times, I really want a franken-hard candy with every flavour and colour of the store.
I've rewatched this video so many times and I think one of the (underratedly) best parts is at 14:21. Watching Jake run back up while repeating "keep rolling," then reassuring her, is so wholesome. I think that's one of the many moments in this video where you can tell how much the staff genuinely care about making sure Saf felt comfortable while she learned at a rapid pace
Can we talk about the fact that all the workers just matched safiya's energy and vibe- plus they were so supportive! Those are the type of people that are fun to be around!
I’ve watched these guys for a long while, they’re like this all the time. Super friendly, super funny, and hearing their banter makes each video amazing to listen to. Them and Hercules are great channels if you like watching these types of people banter and work, they are sister stores after all lmao.
I love how patient and encouraging the candy experts are. They are super nice.
Right? Jake seems like such a good teacher; he's so patient and nice.
One could even say they're... sweet
I'll see myself out now
@@azhash2781 what
@@ryusjin9381 he’s making a pun
I love watching these candy making videos and I'm glad you did one. I hope you don't hurt too much today :)
I love lofty pursuits! It's so neat that greg let y'all do this!
MOG
Hi
Yes
My daughter and I LOVE Lofty Pursuits. We live a few hours away in Pensacola but we stop by whenever we are in town to watch them make candy and load up on their amazing vegan ice cream. I'm so glad you bring attention to small businesses ❤️
her channel is slowly becoming “youtube brought me into this rabbit hole and now i have a strong desire” and following through and i’m 100% here for it
Same
Relatable. ;-)
The way Jake is matching Safiya's and Tyler's energy is soo cute
Jake seems like he is good people. 👍 actually. The whole team at Lofty Persuits seem like good fun people.
This is the most epic crossover for me because I watched lofty pursuits long before I ever watched Safiya and it’s like the two weird halves of my life are combining
I love her “what is half” moment. When things start unravel so quickly your mind just decides to shut down and leave you on the curb at the mercy of whoever is in charge of the situation
The candies are so cute, and I love how the staff vibed with you in this video! Definitely rooting for "Pear-ea 51" as the candy's name.
I was trying to think of a name and I think you nailed it! 😊 Punny and descriptive!
That’s the perfect name😂
“Pear-anormal activity” is the coolest name ever!! Love it so much, and I love how creative Safiya is 🖤
I completely agree on that name
Jake seems like the best person ever to teach anyone anything. Love his positive energy
I love the little alien dude. He's so freaking cute!
“It’s pretty cool” “Hot. Weren’t you paying attention?” I love the energy they were bringing!
Jake is honestly such an icon. He showed you up and then was so supportive and kind 😎
I'll tell him that! Hes my "uncle" (my moms bestfriend) and he will love the positive comments!
Need to try making a fraken-candy - that looks like a Frankenstein and has all the flavors!!
It’s so strange but I’ve seen Safiya and Tyler’s videos so often I legit put them in to sleep to, cause I’ve seen them so many times, they are calming. 😂
I love that Saf never goes in with an attitude that she’s going to master anything in one day. She genuinely appreciates the time it takes to become a craftsman/artisan and just wants to celebrate their craft by trying it out, exposing her audience to it, and having fun!
I saw someone suggest “pear-anormal activity” and I think it’s the perfect name! Love how willing Saf is to learn new skills and glad she takes us along the for the journey
I absolutely LOVE Lofty Pursuits!
Greg is absolutely delightful, has great sense of humor and just such good energy!
everyone should have someone like jake when learning something new!! he was so patient and kind and such a good sport for the video
i love how saf can just use this channel to try out every hobby she wants, this is like the ideal state of this channel
Reminds me of how Jenna marbles would just see something online or just have a random idea and dedicate an entire video to it. Miss her so much
greg and jake are so sweet, i love them so much
This looks so fun and those flavors sound delicious! Maybe you could name the alien Pearson?
Also, Jake is the embodiment of „You‘re doing great sweety.“
Yes omg 😂
I'm just so happy I'm not the only one that was obsessed with these hard candy videos. Love you Saf 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Next video: Saf cleans a very dirty rug 😂
Same lol
Sameee
Yesss
I knowwwww, I've been obsessed with them for foreverrrrrr
14:20 he talks so kindly and supportively 😭❤️
The moment you said that you asked Lofty Pursuits to help you, I got very excited. I've been watching Greg's channel for a while, too. So this makes a great collaboration~
she’s a bubble tea store owner, she’s a candy maker, she’s a makeup franken-scientist, she’s an icon, she’s a legend, she is the MOMENT 💅🏼
Don’t forget soap maker
@@HEYitstoriii ah how could i forget that 😮💨
It'd be SO META if Safiya designs and makes her own doll and then gets into competition with Barbie on who mastered the most professions. 🤣
Jake's sense of humour fits perfectly with saf and Tyler. I really enjoyed this one and the experts were so nice
can't believe this 97 year old candy shop still makes candy the old fashioned way
Have been living in Florida for years, and I'm just now learning this candy exists in the US 🤩🤩 MIND BLOWN
Jane is adorable, greg is an amazing teacher, and jake is hilarious.
I'll tell him that! Hes my "uncle" (my moms bestfriend) and he will love the positive comments!
I love how Safiya is always just doing stuff that she has always wanted to do while appreciating the communities/professions who make it all possible!
Coming back to rewatch this and realizing Saf is basically the Mike Rowe of our generation. Except instead of dirty jobs, it’s “it’s not that hard, right?” Jobs (spoiler: they’re usually difficult)
I would watch a sitcom with Saf, Greg, and Jake just making candy.
“smirkin mirkin” as tyler aptly dubbed the alien has won my heart over and i now cannot consider any other names. he looks very disgruntled and i love him for it
Safiya and Tyler definitely soulmates. He’s always so supportive and she always makes him laugh. I strive to have a relationship like that.
This was released a year ago and I've only recently come across Lofty. The algorithm is weird man. Great video and super satisfying to watch these masters at work.
Lofty Pursuits has been a staple of my life since they converted to an ice cream parlor. I’m so glad that you got to experience this with them, the team and Greg are all so lovely!
Lofty Pursuits has been there when I celebrated my sisters graduation, MY graduation, when I got accepted to college, and most recently I brought my then boyfriend (soon to be fiance and one month to the day anniversary husband) when we visited my parents. Watching this video is making me so nostalgic. I think I’m gonna try to book a flight soon to go home and see my parents and visit Loftys 😂
When Safiya said, "That's pretty cool!" and Greg said, "Mm, HOT. Weren't you paying attention?" - that filled my whole chest with joy 😀
BRB joining the candy gym 🍭💪🏼
SAME TY LOL
78
omg its the ty!!!! ty guy!!!
gonna get buff at the candy gym
My kind of workout!!
So fun! It reminds me of the old-style candy from my father’s youth (1920s?) with little flowers as the images.
the disgruntled winking alien is lowkey giving me gudetama vibes
I definitely enjoyed Greg's dry humor throughout! Thanks Lofty Pursuits for letting Safiya go wild in your store!
i adore how saf's channel has evolved into her periodically learning about very cool and/or niche things
Ok the sad/tired/winky alien is ADORABLE ❤❤❤❤❤
I love how saf just tries everything
Let’s just take a moment to appreciate Greg. Not only did he let her make her own batch of custom candy, but thought her everything he knows, let her do a subscriber giveaway with their bags, and was so kind to her. 💕 ❤️ ❤️
Ikr he’s awesome!
@Don't Read My Channel Logo Why do people even do this. Lol.
Can we just appreciate just how incredibly kind the entire staff was?
with this video i realise how much saf gets to experience! So cool, literally my dream to do everything
I LOVE LOFTY PURSUITS HOLY CRAP OF ALL THE ONES YOU COULD BAVE DONE
I love how Saf only seems to collab with really niche channels--it always gives me something new to dive into!
Jake was so supportive, I loved his energy! I'm also obsessed with the image candy, they are so cute and satisfying to watch!
No way! You went there?! I just saw a video on them and how their entire tools are ancient and original and everything.❤
Can't wait to see how it went. I am actually surprised how I missed this video for a year
This is my favorite video on RUclips I lost track of how many times I’ve watched this video 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🩶🩶🩶🖤🖤🖤🩶🖤
You can tell the team at Lofty Pursuits really enjoys what they do and is happy to share their knowledge with people. It truly is an art worth taking pride in.
Greg and Jake seem so patient and nice. Also, loved the classic look of the shop
I think the little dude is giving frog wizard from space, here to check your candy vibes!
I cant believe you came to our awesome Lofty Pursuits! And im only seeing it a year later! Hello from Tallahassee!❤
For the alien candy, how about “Pearanormal” for a name? 👽
Loved this fun candy-making video! Was awesome to see behind the scenes and learn a bit about how this type of hard candy is made 😁😋
awww that's even better than what I came up with!
I love that name!!!
I vote for Pearanormal! That’s such a cute name.
Vote for this one as well
Pearanormal is a great name
You should name the custom design pear-anormal activity!!! I hope I win the giveaway, all 3 flavors sound amazing and the way it was made was soo cool! thanks for another awesome video saf!!
What's funny for me is thanks to your video here Saf, I've got a new favorite candy place to order from. I may have gotten one of the last bags recently of the Alien in Pear (it is SO tasty!) and Lofty's got a few favorite flavors I can't resist now. Thanks for showing me a whole new world of candy!
I watch this video while on the treadmill and I walked/jogged a mile! Hahaha 😂
I feel like this would be a great work environment. Greg seems like he loves his job and loves to teach people about the art of candy making.
I really love the positive energy that Jake and Greg brought to this video. They really matched you on your level of enthusiasm.
I love this business! From what I have seen, this video showed two men who actually love what they do for a living. It was so cute watching them light up explaining the process!!😭
you're telling me Sofiya was down the street from me and I had no idea???
Loved Jake's energy and involvement, and Greg's enthusiasm! Such a happy place :D
the energy from Greg and Jake is unmatched. excellent.
I wish I could have tried any of these but alas I am allergic to pear kiwi and watermelon so I didn't enter lmao!! This was a great video
I love how the alien looks like a disgruntled pea
everyone that lofty pursuits seems absolutely wonderful, jake was so nice and encouraging and greg just seems like an absolute sweetheart
I like Tyler's idea of calling him, Smirkin' Merkin' something that plays on the fact that he's winking is wonderful
.... Isn't a Merkin.... Like, definitely not.... This?
I've tried their Candy Cap (mushroom) flavored candies. They are SO good! It's amazing that you guys went and had this experience!
Omg as a tally local im so upset i missed you!! i grew up watching you ever since buzzfeed🩷💕
I just love how you got so much emotion into the candy, he looks drunk, uncomfortable, a little disheveled, but he's also winking. A work of art
I love how supportive Greg was the whole time, such a cool dude and teacher.
It's fun to make candy!!! Always wanted to make salt water taffy. I'd love to taste yours
