This may sound cheesy: I ordered candy from you guys during the summer, and when it came I had been in a car accident the same day. It was a long and tiring day, we hit a pole head on, I'd been jerked around and dragged to a hospital to do all kinds of tests and I just wanted to go home, and when I got home the candy was waiting for me and it made a terrible day much better. I absolutely love the candy you guys make and it made me happy enough to forget about the ginormous seatbelt rash across my chest, haha.
I wish there were more local candy shops around the states like there used to be. Most people don’t even think about how candy is made, they just want it. They want it cheap, and they want it now. The funny thing is, most candy made locally is cheaper and much higher quality. Local ingrediants, local sales, and made with love all combine to make an amazing taste. Well...as long as the person making it loves what they do. You, sir, are a testamant to how candy should be made. I hope your buisness flourishes and you love what you do for the rest of your life. Keep everything simple and full of love.
this is like this everywhere. homemade or locally made stuff is rare nowaday. but lately the big chain are starting to drop their quality to a point where people are thinking about re-opening those vintage store. like bakery, doughnut shop and small diner
My friend and I are talking about needing to come to Tallahassee, just to visit Lofty Pursuits. Greg is so delightfully nerdy- we feel like it would be so much fun to get to know him!
In Sweden we don't make ribbon candy in this shape, we tend to make it in a sort of curly spiralling shape instead, as if you were to wrap the ribbon around a pen or something instead of letting it go through a machine. We also sell this type of candy during open-air markets and in paper cones. I was so happy when my mother got me a cone full of candy at the market once when I was little, for instance.
Lofty Pursuits www.martaschoklad.se/v2/image/data/Slayt/Sp%C3%A5n.jpg Here's an image of what these look like, sadly I don't know how they're made as I've only seen them sold and never seen them made.
Bauhauskiddo Oh wow, so pretty! I love how candy seems to bring everybody together through shared memories, even if the candy wasn't exactly the same. And the differences are the most interesting part!
every once in awhile I come across someone who was born in the wrong era. you sir are one of those people. keep up the great work and thank you for keeping old traditions and knowledge alive.
mark a I just like tech old and new. keep in mind we are a Victorian candy store, soda fountain, restaurant and toy story that has a 2 letter top level domain. we go both ways :)
I'm glad you slowed the video down to see the pulling of the candy. There's something just so satisfying about seeing this part of the process. Especially when you first put it onto the cooling table and start to separate the colors. Watching the hot liquid parts fall out of the cooler parts as you hold it up is mesmerizing for some reason! Thanks for doing this and also for all of the explanations to go along with each video. Quite interesting!
I love that he is fat. I know it may sound weird, but it is very comforting that a sweet maker is nice and fat. It makes me trust that what he makes is good.
A friend whose dad was known for grilling food for events in his area said “Never trust a skinny chef”. (I never had the chance to meet his dad but from pictures I can see he was every bit as big as my friend)
This man is ahead of his time not only having an amazing channel amd promoting himself in multiple ways but with feedback and forward thinking I watched one video and I already am probably going to buy some of your candy. Keep up the good work!
It's always fun to see ribbon candy. It's always a thing for me to go to my grandma's and hang up the ribbon candy on the tree and eat the broken bit. Such nice memories~
So my grandpa, who died a few years ago, loved this candy and before he died we couldn't find any and it was a special thing for him and my mom to grab when she was growing up. She just found some in the store the other day, and we couldn't keep it because I have food allergies and the production wasn't safe so seeing this made me feel a little bit better and also gave me the idea of trying to make some for her so thank you :)
You all are rude, coming to this guy's channel and praising another channel. Every artist has their own way of making their art. I enjoyed the ability to watch you make this. Thank you for posting.
I do like the new length of the videos and the extended pulling and shaping sections. Also that new machine seemed to operate very nicely, the candy came out really good.
I absolutely agree with longer vids, more crafting time. It's nice to sort of take a break from the day and watch the process. For those that think it's too long, you can always watch part now and the rest later.
i've never eaten ribbon candy before, but i think the imperfections from you making it by hand make it looks far nicer than the perfectly uniform stuff youd find in supermarkets.
@@brusselsprout5851 he wasn't putting them down Greg said that he had tried to do it by hand before and that it hadn't turned out well. Having a teacher may be just what he needs to get it.
there is something so satisfying about the art of people making food with the utmost care (Sushi done by masters, burgers done by dads, and candy done by you and my grandfather.) That and your voice is so soothing, it just makes me relax and want to fall asleep. I am glad when I have the time to watch your videos.
I have been binge watching your channel for the past 3 days! I realized how ignorant I was about something so artistic and amazing. Watching you guys make the candy by hand really makes me want to take a visit to your location! But I'll probably have to settle on ordering a bit online for now :). Keep up these incredibly informative and fun videos!!!! 👍🏼👌🏼💚
I was starting to have an anxiety attack while around my parents, so I went up to my room, searched for your channel, and clicked on this video. I feel better now, thank you so much for making these
I love the little tidbits of history wound into your videos. You can just tell that you love your craft, and your passion shines through in the high quality videos you make. Thank you
Out of the other candy channels i like yours the most, very clean videos that are easy to mentally digest. . . You go step by step with detail and show the whole process all without talking about nonsense and leaving it aesthetic
+L Riley-Wilson sadly no. Most of the music is love recordings that are not released, but I have permission to use. Nothing I think I've used has ever been on a commercial recording of download. It's hard to get rights for the music of it were. I was serious about liking live music. You sometimes can hear applause in the background.
I am SOOOO glad to see that ribbon candy is still being made. "Stained glass sugar cookies" (made by using a tiny cookie cutter to cut out a portion of a larger cookie before baking--make usre you use parchment paper between the cookie and the baking sheet--and using crushed pieces of ribbon candy in the small cutter opening are one of the many Christmas memories I have from childhood. Now that I have grandchildren of my own, I want to continue to make similar memories for them.
OK so there used to be a candy shop when I was a little girl who made all kinds of old school candies and my abuelita would buy me ribbon candy! man. I'd forgotten all about that until I saw this video. do you all only make hard candies? no salt water taffy love?
Hi I am very happy to see ribbon candy again I worked for one of the best hard candy companies in chicago for many years. Peerless Confection Co. You are exelent candy makers congratulations
I love how Greg treats every video like it's the viewer's first. Something about the repetition is soothing. Normally I hate having things I already know explained to me, but it's different here. You have a way with words, Greg. And candy.
FarfalleAlfredo the domino wall dis not survive the move. I plan to give out some of those survivng dominoes in my upcoming Kickstarter campaign as rewards.
My grandmother always used to have ribbon candy at Christmas time. I didn't like the taste much, but I loved the way it looked and would play with it more than eat it. It's fascinating to finally know how it's made!
I love watching the process of making ribbon candy. Never ate it before, though. Part of me doesn't even want to eat it, because it looks too pretty to eat!
So impressive to watch someone shape candy more or less by hand, with just a good pair of scissors and a relatively simple machine to put the finishing touch to it.
Why the background music songs... I'm really glad to see your all candies making.. Can't stop watching it. Me & my Son absolutely just love candies... Thank you so very much for the valuable video..
As a career glass crafter, watching these videos are utterly satisfying. I do many of the same dance moves on my work, only i must not touch it with my hands.
greg, your ribbon candy turned out beautifully! as a child in the 50s and 60s we always had ribbon candy at christmas. it's the only time my grandmother had any candy in her house. it was in a 10 box and it was beautiful. I was fascinated by it and could not imagine how it was made. what a joy to watch you making it in this video!
FrosenCarrotz old hook. we mislaid the hook I had frabiracated in the move. this one is from Mulleans. it's amazing f what 100+ years of seasoning can do to steel.
Thanks for the great video! I really enjoyed the real time pulling and melting candy, it's very satisfying to watch, and all the different angles you filmed the ribbon folding process from were awesome!
I can remember my grandmother who died many many many years ago having ribbon candy from a local candy maker and store. It was so thin that it was like shattering glass when you bit into it and I've never been able to find any that thin since. Some of it is downright quarter inch thick! The box was also full of 12 to 18 different flavors and colors and it was made by a small two person operation candy making shop in Portland Maine. They are still making and selling candy but not that ribbon candy. :-(
One question: Does each stripe have a different flavor? I haven't seen ribbon candy in decades. Thank you for keeping the tradition going! Blessings on you and yours and all who read this!🤗
You are Fabulous! Made a 58 yr old ex pat very happy 🤗I dare not look to see if you don’t ship to uk! The last time I ate ribbon candy I was 6 yrs old x ❣️so well spoken over what a wonderful video x thank you so much !
I LOVE ribbon candy for its texture properties. Snap it into a smaller lenth, put it vertically between the teeth, and bite down to feel its multiple levels stacking atop one another as the flavor comes to life. Lovely.
I was pretty excited for you. I admire your dedication to learning this craft. I also want to mention that you should consider voice acting. Your voice is warm, fatherly and calm.
I'd like to try making some simple candy canes at home. What's the smallest batch size that can be easily worked? I'm assuming you take the sugar to hard crack? What's the sugar to water ratio? And, how much peppermint oil should I add? Does the surface (I'll be using a granite countertop) need lubrication?
tzkelley I actually don't know. I've never made a batch that was less that about a gallon to start and that was hard. that being said, I have been trying to figure out a at home version. I'm getting closer. my goal is to do a video on this for next Christmas using things you could have in your kitchen.
If you would have told me that not only would I be watching candy making videos and enjoying them on TH-cam. I'd have said you were nuts. But I've actually enjoyed watching and listening to your stories about candy history. I'd didn't know about the curent law. I've had curent in Europe years ago. It is a great flavor. Thanks for the videos. Ilk be over in Tallahassee in March and I'll be stopping by your new store.
I think this channel is a lot like a modern day Bob Ross. Gregs persona and voice is just so inviting, and warm, and the way he does his job like he loves every moment of it is just so wholesome.

I've never been all that into hard candies, but I can really appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into them. I had no idea.
Really nice that you can walk around the cooling table now. You have room for 3 or 4 people to work at one time if the need would ever arise.

It seems like that ability, to fold ribbon candy by hand, would be pretty damn useful in your profession.

Hope I can visit you guys soon if I ever travel to Florida! There aren't many candy shops that make their own hard candy here in IL.

the "baby its cold outside"
True magic here my friend, I love watching this type of art in the making! Thanks so much for what you do
Hercules candy makes it by hand and it turns out good
I enjoy listening to you and watching you make your candy.
I like the longer video.
Were you able to bring the tiles that were at the back of the cooling table over to the new location?
Those were dice if I recall correctly
Dominoes
This is my therapy, watching you make candy and talk about things.
Love the music relaxing bro
I LOVE ribbon candy for its texture properties. Snap it into a smaller lenth, put it vertically between the teeth, and bite down to feel its multiple levels stacking atop one another as the flavor comes to life. Lovely.
are you going to keep this type of video style? just curious
I was pretty excited for you. I admire your dedication to learning this craft.
I also want to mention that you should consider voice acting. Your voice is warm, fatherly and calm.
I'd like to try making some simple candy canes at home. What's the smallest batch size that can be easily worked? I'm assuming you take the sugar to hard crack? What's the sugar to water ratio? And, how much peppermint oil should I add? Does the surface (I'll be using a granite countertop) need lubrication?
tzkelley I actually don't know. I've never made a batch that was less that about a gallon to start and that was hard. that being said, I have been trying to figure out a at home version. I'm getting closer. my goal is to do a video on this for next Christmas using things you could have in your kitchen.
If you would have told me that not only would I be watching candy making videos and enjoying them on TH-cam. I'd have said you were nuts. But I've actually enjoyed watching and listening to your stories about candy history. I'd didn't know about the curent law. I've had curent in Europe years ago. It is a great flavor. Thanks for the videos. Ilk be over in Tallahassee in March and I'll be stopping by your new store.
I just heard the song at the beginning of the video and instantly thought of that one old vine
Ha
ME TOO
YES with the slow-down.... Its like the best part of one of those "satisfying"/"try not to get satisfied" videos
Can someone tell me what's the name of the songs? And the singers please
