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 YouTube channel here! youtube.com/c/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?

    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
  • Safiya is basically Barbie with the amount of jobs she has mastered. an icon moment
  • @Eliz_Creates
    Jake’s reassurance is just so sweet omg— I’d cry if it where me messing up and him been optimistic
  • safiya's ability to name tastes/scents in such unique yet clearly understandable way, will continue to surprise me every day. (hey that rhymed!)
  • 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.
  • Some fun names for the last candy are “The extra’pear’restrial” and “Pear-anormal Activity” 👽🛸

    +Thx for all the positive comments :D
  • @EmberMoon5585
    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.
  • @kae5717
    I did not expect to encounter two people who can meet Safiya's raw chaos energy, in the same location. Very good episode!
  • from soapmaking, jewelry smelting, boba shops to candy making, safiya is just completing all her dream jobs
  • Greg has clearly taught several daughters to make candy. His patience and kindness is unmatched!

    “where have all the anvils gone?”
    Loved the Gilmore girls reference ❤
  • @lyli_leu2
    After rewatching this video multiple times, I really want a franken-hard candy with every flavour and colour of the store.
  • 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

  • I love lofty pursuits! It's so neat that greg let y'all do this!
  • @anovosedlik
    Greg, Jake and Chris are AMAZING artists! Saf looked SO focused on getting it right...which is understandable considering how seriously tough this looks
  • @tifa1218
    I love how casual Greg is with giving you warnings “you might burn your skin. 🤷🏻‍♂️”
  • @pizzapie08
    I love how patient and encouraging the candy experts are. They are super nice.

    Safiya is like the journalist who does all the fun activity segments on the news except way cooler & way more entertaining
