Hey folks, I rushed on this one, Did not get all the history in I wanted to. Sorry about that. I'll get it in for a video next year.
We make peppermint candy canes just in time for Christmas 2016. Public Displays of Confections in Tallahassee, Florida produces hand made hard candy using Victorian techniques. Every Christmas we hand make about 10,000 candy canes for the season.
These videos always make me think about how most candy today is just made by machine. And that lofty pursuits and other shops around the country are keeping the tradition of candy making alive.
Ryan Burdick we made candy in my culinary class last year, it was definitely something seriously hot work but it was a blast to make and delicious as well.
Their also keeping alive some of the truly antique machines which is awesome. Don't need no stinking new and "improved" machines, the old ones have been working perfect for generations.
I find it really heartwarming that several shops over the world keep the classic candy tradition to this day like Lofty Pursuits, or Candylabs in canada.
I wonder if this style of candy can be made by machines
JAZZ MUSIC? SWING MUSIC? HECK THEY'VE GOT SCAT PLAYING, MY FAVORITE MUSIC GENRES, THIS IS AMAZING!!
Ok boomer
@@trevorcoe6320 damn you clearly didn't hear the lady pretty much rapping better than anyone today. Skat and swing created what we have today. Before u say ok boomer - I'm 20. :)
It's always so fascinating to see the amber candy change to white. never gets old 😍
Sometimes I find myself watching these just for the soundtrack itself! The candy is also an awesome bonus
I wish there were millions of these videos, I fall asleep nightly watching them!
nothing is more satisfying than watching you guys pull candy omg like I could watch that all day.
I found a little candy store near my work that sells old timey candies. I bought a box of ribbon candy and thought of you guys. I really need to place an order with you guys.
The guy spinning the candy on the hook to make it white must have some muscles on him that looked like a bit of a workout.
Laura Arnette *Greg
Laura aren’t that’s Greg the narrator
I don't know why this guy doesn't get more subscribers or more credit. He puts time and effort into making his candy and filming it, plus he looks into the history of candy as well.
He must spend so much time into this, and he sounds so nice. He definitely needs more recognition.
Am I the only one that enjoys the old format of PD videos every now and then? without the commentary? Hearing the scissors cut the candy and the table while the sugar was rolled...
lofty pursuits should take 360 picture of the shop and post it on google map so that people that can't be at the shop can see what the shop mostly looks like
I only watch your videos because the art design, I'm not allowed to eat candy every other day and it's kind of satisfying
i love that i get a history lesson while watching this
I appreciate you showing how to make the candy canes 😋 & love your waste not attitude. I love the history lesson too!
3:31 the music
Man:what?
Woman:(sings faster than a rapper but with alot more calm rythm and ease)
i wish i could move to florida just so i could work there lol. i live in australia .... its so hot here you wouldnt even need a vat to heat the sugar lol
I come back and rewatch this video every year. It's very relaxing and festive.
very cool, I like the new angles used especially with the fresh poured sugar!!! I'm placing an order soon!!!
the song while pulling candy was amazing!
LoftyPursuits, Is it possible we could ever see the actual candy mix being made? i've seen a few but they seem to do it differently, would like to see your take on it
TheGamesTrain i second that!
That's some smooth jazz right there.
If I ever visit america again, I'm visiting this place, and taking a gigantic load of candy home with me. For sure
I like how this is all hand made brings a little more humanity in life (this is how I feel I don't want to put words in people's mouths)
your videos really help me relax when im raging over math homework, keep up the good work!
I liked the kid with the superman shirt...he must have sat there for near a half an hour in real time with the same expression. :-D
oh no..i keep wondering how it would be to eat the stuff before it's cooled too much. chewy hard candy. hot.
Sweet tasting napalm essentially. Sticks to you and burns. I once got hardish molten sugar on my hands. It sucks.
If you've ever had molten hot sugar hit your skin, it quickly turns into second and third degree burns, but it smells like caramel!
I like listening to your videos in the background while I study. You've a wonderful voice and an exquisite taste in music.
Lofty Pursuits is a high class type situation
I just started watching this channel a few days ago, and I'm already planning to order a custom bag for my mom for Mother's Day, her favorite flavors combined with one of her favorite things in the world: the ocean.
so happy you're a candymaker, so cool that people still have professions like this that make others happy n stuff :3 you got the striped apron and everything
+Deer-Sheep-Koifish Well the apron was a gift from my mom.
I love it. Fits your style of job >u
+Deer-Sheep-Koifish It fits at all. That can be a challenge for me when I shop for aprons.
Ooh, I was wondering why you always wore that one. It's hard for me to find stuff in my size, too. I'm really boney QwQ But I really love the stripes c:
+Deer-Sheep-Koifish actually I have three two with stripes and one without. Although the one without has gone AWOL. I like how the stripes look on video so I try to wear that one for the videos. I have one that is gray and white and one that is a gray green and white. I've been shopping around for a striped one that is permanent pressed.
I wish I was able to find the music. Your jazzy music you have is always great to listen to.
Most of it is not out there to be found.
Merry Christmas from California ❤ thank you for your videos, they never fail to brighten my days 😊
This is so relaxing and fascinating to watch! I love your videos :)
I watch you vids for you amazing skill, soothing voice over and the music.
Do you have a list of the songs played on this video?
I believe Greg has said most of these are live recorded so he doesn’t put a list(this could be 100% wrong and 4 years late)
I seriously love you guys so much. I wish I wasn't 3,000 miles away, and poor (but not the type of poor you should feel sorry for). :)
this is an amazing processes, love it
his voice is soooo soothing....
Came here for the candy... instead spent 1 hour 30 minutes learning the lyrics to that song...
Swingin' Soundie - "I Want You To Be My Baby" Lyrics:
I, I want, I want you
I want you to
I want you to be
I want you to be my baby
Will, will you, will you please
Will you please tell
Will you please tell me
That you're going to be my baby
Listen to your mama
And you never will regret it
'Cause if anybody wonders
You can tell them that I said it
The only thing I know is
That I never can forget you
I've been longing for you, baby
Ever since the day I met you
I got you where I want you
Yea I'm never gonna let you
Get away from me
Do what I tell you
I'm the girl for you so
You'd better start to face it
If you ever lose my love
You know you never can replace it
I think it's time for you to
Start to give me some loving
'Cause I'm carrying a torch for you
That's hotter than an oven
It's time for you to give me
A little turtle-dovin', baby
Hold me tight and do
What I tell you
I, I want, I want you
I want you to
I want you to be
I want you to be my baby
Will, will you, will you please
Will you please tell
Will you please tell me
That you're going to be my baby
Listen to your mama
And you never will regret it
'Cause if anybody wonders
You can tell them that I said it
The only thing I know is
That I never can forget you
I've been longing for you, baby
Ever since the day I met you
I got you where I want you
Yea I'm never gonna let you
Get away from me
Do what I tell you
I'm the girl for you and so
You'd better start to face it
If you ever lose my love
You know you never can replace it
I think it's time for you to
Start to give me some loving
'Cause I'm carrying a torch for you
That's hotter than an oven
It's time for you to give me
A little turtle-dovin', baby
Hold me tight and do
What I tell you
I, I want, I want you
I want you to
I want you to be
Want you to be my baby
Greg, I love your videos, man. They are so enthralling. And the music...I love this genre of music. My wife and daughter and I are moving to Tampa sometime in Dec and I have a couple friends in Tallahassee and I will definitely be stopping in to get some candy when we move. Til then, keep cranking out these awesome videos.
+AbnormalTV Thank you. It's what I listen to.
Sweet and sour, I love to see the whole log being turned into the candy with little waste* but on the flip side I hate candy canes. *Yes I know no candy goes to waste and is sold
In Florida you can do your Christmas shopping in a t-shirt. Cheers from Texas, but it's hotter in Tallahassee!
this is strangely relaxing
It bothers me that he left that piece of candy on the hook
Those are some generously sized candycanes.
WOAH
your cooling table is watercooled. I thought it was just a cold metal table
The domino-tiled backsplash was pleasantly historic, but I like the new bright, open layout even better.
The dominoes did not survive the move well. The new layout is better for candy making. Much bigger location allows for a much bigger candy area
Love the music to this video!!
I am not used to no domino wall behind the candy table and being able to be on both sides of the candy table.
I heard the same story about pretzels: it was made by a choirmaster or a priest teaching his students and made the arms crossed over the chest to reward his students for being quiet.
Also, cloissonne actually originates from enamel metalworks but was then transferred to gemstone cutting.
I'm going back a bit to my art history in early christian and bysantine art, but if I remember correctly, it was high art for royalty with the celts. Was sent with cut stones. Many years before enaemel was in the west. Could be remembering wrong. I had an amazing teacher in this. A Dr. Hann.
Just looked it up on Wikipedia. 6-9th century celts, gemstones. Earlier with glass (enamal) in Rome, but even earlier in Asia. mind you nether of these were covered by a degree in Christian arts. :)
i lovethe slower videos! no need to speed up icould watchths all day
We switch it up from video to video. Sometimes we link from the description a longer form video with no dialog.
+Lofty Pursuits wonderful
Great music choice man! Keep up the good work! Merry Christmas!
OMG I LOVE PEPPERMINT CANDY CANES🥰😘

I love the Jazz Trumpet :DDD
Please make long videos... I really enjoy the long versions...they much more enjoyable... the five mins ones are wayyy to short.. it's like, ya just get into it n it finishes..... pleaseeee continue to make long ones...
Great show and music greg!
I wish I could go to Tallahassee but it is a 1 hour and 199 dollar flight or 4 hour drive. I’ll have to look into your store.
Lay some skin on me, Scat Cat.
all of your videos are so satisfying...and it makes me enjoy watching it...😆😊😊
Love your videos! keep posting!
i really really love this Candy,
Really enjoy these, thanks for posting
This is fascinating.
i am loving this song
Amazing! I would have loved it even more with Christmas music. Either way, an amazing process. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas!
used all my Christmas music for the ribbon candy video.
This guy makes some great videos
would be great to see some of your packaged candies. I want to order a selection but dont know what a 75g bag of candy would look like
I like your work !
The music makes me feel like i'm playing fallout.
Came for the candy stayed for the jazz
Swingin' Soundie - "I Want You To Be My Baby" (Cassidy Janson)
Your videos get me in the Christmas spirit like nothing else. ^~^
Thumbs up for tutus!
Really though, how tempting does it look just biting into the candy when it's hardened on the cooling table, or when it's going through the candy pulling machine?!?
One legend I heard for the relationship of candy canes with Christmas is that their form is a reminder that shepherds were the first to be told of Christ's birth, hence they are shaped like a shepherd's crook.
Terrific background music!!!!!!!!
My uncle bought me some, they are soo good.
Parker Matthews Thank you.
*Why 3 thin stripes and 1 wide stripe?* That history of the candy cane was very interesting : )
Amazing video, thank you
You should try doing a batch of crystal candy canes, skipping the whitening step.
You have great taste in music.
That's cool I live a town away from Hartford
Wow thats a time intensive item.
OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH HTHATTTTTSS WHAT YOU DO WITH THE END GLOB XD LOL
It reminds me of the Blob movie from the 50's
I love your videos! I learn so much from them :) and the candies look amazing! Thank you for sharing ❤🍭🍬
Whats the name of that song playing when he was pulling the candy??
Very good looking! Would be nice if you put the pd.net link into the description :)
I love all of your videos and candy, I just wish you all sold them in larger packages :D I always run out way too fast!
Ive been watching your videos for quite some time now, and i think they are mesmerising! But theres one thing i want to ask: how do you melt down the sugar? Measurements/temperature/ingredients?? I dont plan to make it myself because i think im wayy to clumsy to handle scalding sugar, but im just curious☺ thank you!!
I love how nice these comments are. i was going to go through and read some off. like some of the ones i enjoyed. soon noticed i liked nearly everyone that I saw hahaha
now that you're in a new location, do you think you could show us the whole process, as in cooking the sugar and such. I think you mentioned in a live stream that you couldn't do that in the old location because the room was too steamy and it would break the camera. By the way, have tried using oil based food coloring for the hard candy so that you don't have to worry about making sure all the water is boiled out? I know they make food coloring specifically for candy.
i wish i was in Florida...but im all the way up in North Dakota :(((
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL! !! THANKS FROM DAYTONA BEACH ♡♡♡
Merry Christmas Lofty Pursuits! Hope you guys have a great holiday season!
Those are thicc Candy canes?
The music tho lmao😂😂
Hey! Just gonna say I love your channel!! Watching you all make that candy is both informative and fun to watch; it really pleases my sweet tooth. As you know Valentine's you is coming up and I would like to enjoy some of your confections with my Valentine. There is one problem, however. She is a vegan and I have no idea if any of your candies were vegan. I don't see why they wouldn't be but it would make me feel a lot more confident that I am catering to her culinary desires if I knew which candies, if any weren't vegan? Thanks!!
+OverwatchUnit3179 everything is vegan, but we.do use some beeswax to coat our candy equipment.
Alright thanks for the quick reply!!! I don't think she'll mind that at all! I'll be certainly get a bag or two shipped... or three or four. Keep up with the quality videos, I can't get enough of it!!!
i love the music man!
Oh man would that roller machine have made that much faster. I see why you got it lol
