Making Orange Image Candy With Greg From Lofty Pursuits

[@sarcastically_me285]

I give Steve props. Most older men don’t like being told how to do things. It’s great you guys still want to learn new techniques. That’s how you keep a business going. I’m so excited to see the new place all done and candy being made there! ❤️

[@trigun890]

Older men??? I've had to teach older women how to do their jobs at my job and they absolutely hated the fact that a 27 year old knew more about their job then they do. All the "older" men were surprised by my knowledge and were happier to learn.

[@rickyr7058]

Who said he liked it

[@fckoff321]

@@trigun890 Might be regional. Where I am, older women have always been very patient and attentive students. Older men generally talk over me, try to explain the process I'm teaching them to me (incorrectly, I might add), and behave in the most condescending ways. I've had a few ask why I can't just send in "the guy that uses the tools for me" to teach them. They can't seem to comprehend that a 5' tall woman IS "the guy that uses the tools" and that's why I've been sent-- to teach them how to handle things properly.

[@kathleenelias0]

I thought they were quite gracious given their guest was always bragging about himself

[@ambermorgan1340]

It's so fascinating to see the different styles between candy masters! Greg focuses on the analytical and historical experience of making candy. (What chemically is happening?) Terry seems very process oriented. (What is the next step?) Steve approaches candy making very artistically. (What is the look and feel of the candy?) I really appreciate what each person brings to their candy making!

[@byronmurphy1977]

Amber Morgan That's exactly what I thought, a great team working together and swapping ideas. Different styles that all work.

[@chellow7]

That is a great observation!

[@xadage0117]

Amber Morgan, you nailed it, couldn't have said it any better.

[@endeeray4295]

@@rayrayray I dont agree, before candy makers had the benefit of chemistry knowlege, they knew it by tactile and visual observation, even smell. Those skills are not as easy as they look. I tried making my own chocolate covered cherries after watching hercules vids plenty of times. Not anywhere near as easy as they make it look. There are multiple changing things you are having to pay attention to while trying to "enrobe" the cherries, and thats not so easy either.

[@elyseenger2646]

@@endeeray4295 And in this way, having a good knowledge of chemistry benefits candymaking.

[@gibsondanny]

I suggest these overly offended whiners about greg, go to his channel and watch his video. He has nothing but polite compliments for these guys.

[@HerculesCandy]

Greg really made a great video about us

[@davisx2002]

He is a great guy and a great candy maker. He is just a little high strung and he can talk too much...seeing him work with them is odd and off putting just because their styles are so different.

[@smithkittykat5463]

i thought greg did a good job. if its his version of the candy he needs to be a little assertive to let them understand how he trains people to make it and show them how he makes it.

[@FM_Carvings]

He seems so passionate about the craft and teaching it to people it can be intense for some I suppose...love these channels!

[@larissahostetter2335]

I didn't really think he was that bad, he just does things a bit differently and he is teaching them how he does his way.

[@Earendilgrey]

Everyone saying Greg is being rude, he was just moving fast since he is working in a cooler environment than he is used to. New York is far cooler and less humid than it can get in Florida, which affects the way the candy is done especially in image candies like they are making.

[@hannahlinstead8323]

I hope you're gonna teach loftypersuits how to make your ribbon candy. I remember him saying how he struggles to get ribbon candy just right. Love watching this teaching moment. Looks very stressful to learn something so time sensitive.

[@ellenw391]

After reading too many of these comments I just want to add one thing. Both Hercules Candies and Lofty Pursuits, and the folks we all know, seemed to have nothing but NICE & KIND things to say about each other and this experience. WAY too much backseat driving/folks trying to turn nothing into something, going on here IMHO. Glad they both enjoyed their time together, their exchange of techniques, and glad we got some great videos to enjoy out of it. And for me, that's all there is to it!!!!

[@HerculesCandy]

I couldn't agree more. The unique thing about our channel is that it's usually drama free...

[@ellenw391]

Hopefully it will bounce back to that. I think many felt a need to "stick up for" you and your gang, without realizing all was fine as is! Plus it's You Tube...you were bound to have drama at some point lol. I've seen people arguing over leaving condolences when someone dies. I don't get it, but it's the nature of the beast. Glad this channel is usually just pure fun, in the videos and comments!! Hopefully soon we can go back to the biggest problem being "I want that candy and I want it NOW" lolol

[@wmonger]

That's a lot of candy masters under one roof.

[@SandraOranje]

This is really impressive. Greg makes it looks so easy when you watch his videos but it's not. Even Steve who has made candy for decades has to learn new ways to handle the hot candy to get it in to shape. I think it's hard to learn this new technique when you are almost on auto pilot when doing hard candy or ribbon candy. I like this collab because everybody learns something new. Always good to have new challenges in live. You did a great job with the filming Craig. 👍

[@NoEggCraig]

Sandra Oranje thanks Sandra!

[@Sanecrist]

Yes, I noticed that too. It's a big deal that the orange stay round and Greg reminded that to not let it get flat. Which is opposite of ribbon candy. It's fun to see different worlds collide.

[@Sanecrist]

No Egg Craig Loved the slow mo during the cutting, Craig. This is probably top ten of my favorite videos. I'll have to watch a few times to absorb all the information. Great work. Thanks for making this collab happen. 😁

[@JackManic1984]

man sounds like he has a lot of experience.

[@Tman2217]

I think Greg is really knowledgeable about candy and has his own personal process for candy making. While I do think that he respects Terry, Steve, and Craig and their way, I think he's just accustomed to a different approach and that kind of comes out in this video. I don't think he intended any disrespect, but I can see why some people think he was a little too pusy here. He was kind of "this is what we need to do, and this is how we're going to do it. But along the way, I'll tell you some history and give you some helpful tips for doing this in the future."

[@emmabroughton2039]

Awww what's with all the hating on Greg? I'm kinda disappointed in the Hercules Family Fans because of that. Greg is a fount of knowledge and a great teacher and I'm pretty sure Steve, Terry and Max have learned a lot from him. I am just as sure Greg has learned a lot from Steve, Terry and Max in return. Greg's teaching style might not be to your taste, but there's no need to be mean. We are better than that.

[@entercreativename]

It was actually through Greg's channel that I found the Hercules one. It's fascinating the amount of chemistry knowledge he has and how it all interplays into the creation of candy. It makes one wonder how many kids would pay more attention in science classes if they realized that some of their favorite items were based in chemistry.

[@emmabroughton2039]

entercreativename - that's how I found and became a fan of Hercules Candy too.

[@byronmurphy1977]

Emma Goudie Wells said Emma 🖒

[@bethp1530]

entercreativename...you're right everything about candy IS molecular, it's just that most people don't look at it that way. I think Greg did a great job showing how it's about warming and cooling and knowing how to use that to manipulate the candy. Actually it's quite like glass blowing in many respects.

[@byronmurphy1977]

Beth P or at school, firing clay in the kiln.

[@adameyeam]

I really enjoyed this video! I, particularly, liked when Greg explained why he doesn't cut the candy, but instead breaks the non-newtonian fluid with the handle of the scissors. I had been wondering why he did that! This was a wonderful collaboration! Thanks guys!

[@Oliver-go4br]

I always wondered that too

[@giheatherhobbit]

Greg reminds me of my instructors when I was in the Army. It's intense but it is an effective way of training. I would be able to learn well if I ever took a class under him!

[@YTistooannoying]

I think what people are missing is that Greg isn't teaching them, but instructing us. I am sure Terry and Steve are aware that the talking is mostly for us and sharing his techniques for them. People are missing that aspect and think he is being condescending to them when he's not. Also, the Hercules crew is so low key and chill that we aren't used to Greg's style and how they step aside like a good host does. They are all awesome.

[@Sinaloa_Cartel]

I actually think he is a very patient teacher. He knows what he’s doing and he teaching someone to do his method.I’m sure there are candies that Hercules could teach Gregg to make. Nice video.

[@konanoobiemaster]

i love people who live up to their archetypes - the bowtie and soda jerk hat is the sweetest touch.

[@missourired5204]

Gregs mannerisms & teaching style reminds me of an old boss I had. Direct...to the point becuz he is a master at his craft. My boss was from Sicily & I was being taught how to run an Italian kitchen the correct way without shortcuts. The customers at Giovannis made reservations up to a year in advance.

[@nerdindahouse4271]

Geovannis the pizza chain in Florida? Lmao

[@rayrayselfrespect]

Holy. Cow. This was so informative but also very stressful, at no fault of anyone. Everyone is out of their element and it’s interesting seeing Steve, Terry, and Max learning new skills and Greg is using equipment that he’s never dealt with before. Nevertheless it was a wonderful video to watch and learn from.

[@CodyWalsh87]

Greg, I'm sorry for all the hate on this video. I dunno what's up with these people. It's obvious to me you're a natural storyteller and a fountain of knowledge in your field. Any candy afficianados would be honored to meet with you and learn all that you know. Keep it up and don't listen to the haters.

[@davisx2002]

the 2 different temperaments in Greg and Steve crack me up. Greg gives a dissertation and Steve says "Mmmm"

[@dennism5565]

Greg stretched the candy on the hook like a BOSS!

I see a lot more comments complaining about people complaining about Greg, than actual mean comments, it's like a 5-1 split

What an insensitive comment about the comments and the comments about the comments. :-(

[@ledon26656]

I was wondering if someone would comment about all the comments complaining about the comments, because I also could not see many of those comments. Turns out someone had commented. I thought I'd leave this comment in reply.

[@cjyo9123]

I like the way he teaches. Have you ever had a “nice” guy teach you who was afraid to speak up when you made a mistake? They will wait to the end to tell you and then they will make you do it all over. He’s making you do it right as you go, best way to learn imo.

[@xtusvincit5230]

As a fan of this channel and this family, it is hard to watch them being talked to like they don't know anything. In this video, they maintained their serenity which is remarkable and commendable. I was more on edge for them than they were. Just another reason we love you guys!

This was so hilarious to watch! Everybody hauling butt so the candy wouldn't cool off XD and it was lovely to see the "boring bits" of candy making.

[@stevewoods755]

Greg is super smart about his craft! He is a master candy maker for sure!

[@MayimHastings]

This really showcases the humility and graciousness of the Adrianos family (Hercules crew). I’ve watched Greg’s channel quite a bit and he seems like a great guy with serious talent and skill. I, for one, learned a lot, but while this was most certainly educational, my blood pressure is also most certainly up 😂

[@BonhommeRichard91]

Very nice camera work on this one Craig! You covered all the angles of production better than you ever have before. I learned how particular layers are assembled to create the image. There's an old saying that should apply to those complaining about Greg and it's "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!" although I prefer changing it a little bit to "GTFO of the kitchen!"

[@vnette9777]

Wow,looked kinda hard,but Gregs a great teacher,and the Hercules Team,did great,too.Very Impressed,with everyone.

[@vanadis6197]

Tricky stuff guys! New environment to work in and learning new things with strangers in a tiny space. Thank you for the effort it took to make this colab! Both channels are fascinating, Greg is a performer as well as a candyman, and you Hercules crew are such witty and humble professionals. You all did a great job entertaining us under pressure. Good work guys! Best of luck for the shift, on the edge of my seat for the next vidiya. Keeping the old techniques alive is vital. Great work on the camera Craig :) From a long term fan in NZ.

I've made hard tack at home and it's hot hard work. I agree with the other comment about the team at Hercules. They are to be commended for their collaboration with Greg. It's always good to share knowledge and techniques among peers. Hats off to Craig's foresight in utilizing social media to record and share the charm that is at the heart of their business!

[@tedbrogan1262]

I wish I could give more than one thumb up for collaborating with Lofty Pursuits. So cool. You're still my favorite KZbin channel though. Greg is great, but you have so much variety in your videos. Plus you have the fun family (and Max) dynamic. I usually put my phone on the passenger seat in my car and listen to you all joke around while I drive to work.

[@anti_honey]

Wow, Greg. In your videos, the process seems to be leisure and simple, but I see now just how many details, big and small, you have to keep track of in such a short amount of time. Absolute new appreciation for this way of making candy. Also big kudos to everyone for their patience and calmness during this race against temperature and time!

[@chloep2187]

I love this video so much, its amazing to watch how focused steve is in learning a new technique, how eager he is to broaden his knowledge. I feel like so many candy makers who had been in the bussiness for as long as he might not be as open to learning, but Steve is.

[@byronmurphy1977]

Chloe P Starve definitely is Batman

[@mixstamike]

I honestly like this because it's 2 candy makers essentially helping teach each other their ways of doing it which in the end will help both acquire new techniques to make their candy even better then it was before they started. There's multiple ways to make candy so I'm not saying either is wrong at all, they're just both helping each other pick up tricks of the trade that they were taught. Which in itself is pretty cool cause it's basically like combining 2 different master candy makers into one which can only mean better candy for us the consumers.

[@hollowfox1675]

He really is “Quick Steve”! I’m really impressed at how quickly he learns new stuff! Wow!!

[@rebeccarose9244]

I love how every video they did together. Steve and terry just absorbed all Greg's fantastic information. Just to turn around and start applying their new found education to their own candy making. Just proves educating and learning is the best gift to give. I would love to see another collaberation with Hercules candy and lofty pursuits! Such a wonderful dynamic between both candy makers! Thank you Craig for all the wonderful videos over the years!

[@laurenh825]

Geez-a-loo! That's so freaking high paced it's giving me anxiety! 😂😂 Breathe Greg!

[@jase_allen]

The kind of candy they're making requires a fast pace. It's part of the challenge. Them having completely different equipment than what he's used to adds to it, as he needs to adjust his techniques on the fly.

[@mariayelruh]

I agree, different sort of table, different set up for heating.

[@juliearmitage469]

I really enjoyed this video. Everyone has to learn new things I thought they did a brilliant job for first time. I get so engrossed in your videos I forget everything else. I love Steve's witacisms. You know what I mean. Good luck with the next batch.

[@brendastuntz1727]

There are a lot of negative comments here, but i think Greg did a wonderful job of teaching especially in an environment that he isn't accustomed to being in. I think if more people here were open to taking in the information vs finding something to be hurt about everyone would be better off. Not to mention i am pretty sure if anyone at Hercules had felt offended in any way they would have piped up about it. Just my two cents.

[@HerculesCandy]

We were not offended at all. We're blown away that he made the trip up here to do these videos. We're pretty surprised by the negativity in the comments. We were all just concentrating and trying for the best outcome with different techniques for us and different equipment and environment for Greg. We were all off kilter!

[@brendastuntz1727]

I think everyone did a wonderful job. I love to make candy and love watching it be made as well.

Greg is a hard candy guy, Steve is a chocolate mam

[@tapeshaft]

I remember learning to make cheese in a small factory and this situation has many similarities. I would love to learn from Greg. He was enthusiastic, spoke clearly, and his behavior seemed totally appropriate for the setting. It's a hectic, noisy, chaotic situation to be working with food production and you have to be alert and quick to act. Usually the best way to do a good job with this sort of thing is to act decisively and confidently, and that is reflected in how he explains himself during this video. So I can see how that might come across as a bit jarring when viewed by us on KZbin in what is likely a much more serene environment.

[@jasonvigil7336]

I really love this collab! I can't remember who I subscribed to first, Hercules or PD. Soooo cool to see the two together! Would love to see them take a visit to Tallahassee sometime in the future too. Good job guys :)

This collaboration is really cool. No one knows everything about everything. But it is great to see different ways to make things. Hercules Candy doesn't stretch their candy the same way, because they aren't making the same end result. They are both delicious. I am sure there are things that Hercules can teach Lofty Pursuits about candy and fillings. And it is hard to stand back and watch in your own space when you are used to being the leader. Try it at your work some time.

[@BradleyG73]

It always fascinates me how candy makers build images inside hard candy! My brain just doesn’t work that way. Amazing!

[@rootedandgrounded0911]

Wow, I thought Steve and Terry were just going to feature Lofty's products in the store; I didn't realize Hercules was going to be making this candy. That has to be stressful for Steve, but he handles it like the candy master he is!!! Greg seems like a jovial and welcoming guy. He certainly knows his techniques and I'd love to watch his vids, but I so enjoy watching Steve, Max and the gang doing their candy their way. I hope it doesn't change too much!

If you think he was being any type of way other than helpful than you need to go crawl back into your safe space.

Greg, it was a pleasure watching you take charge of the situation and show everyone how to make this candy and the techniques for it. Great episode.

[@Renkyz]

What Greg said about the hook heating up and causing the candy to stick to it made me think of an over engineered solution inspired by my computers. Water cool the hook! haha.

[@sablatnic8030]

I was thinking the same - heat pipe! Except it won't work on a hook. Brass maybe, as brass has a high specific heat capacity, but is poisonous - maybe tinned brass.

[@MRPURPLEHAIZE]

water cooled is as old as it gets, computers just picked it up recently

[@ripplecutbuddha]

You guys need to remember that Greg was a little stressed as well, working in an unfamiliar setup with equipment that works differently than his own shop. Hard candy starts on a timer, and there's very little slop room before it's just too little too late. Listen to what he was saying. He keeps saying things are cooling off faster than what he's used to. When candy cools off too fast, you loose time to work with it at all. I'm glad to see my two favorite candy channels doing a collaboration and I hope they do another one in Greg's shop someday.

[@redpat1983]

Yes!!!! Love both of these channels. Wonderful video.

[@only1junebug874]

Man I love watching lofty pursuits videos his voice is just so calming that’s how I found your change in the related section

[@mariayelruh]

I think all the negative comments about Greg coming in to try and add subscribers to his channel are funny. Lofty Pursuits has over 375,000 subscribers --- that's 3 1/2 times as many as Hercules. I love watching Hercules and they are the ones likely to get a big boost from having Lofty Pursuits visit them, not the other way around! Greg strikes me as a guy who loves knowledge about candy, and enjoys sharing it. He has an interesting collection of antique hard candy making tools. His videos and style are different than Craig's so it will be interesting to see his of the same processes. As to the hammer comment, the science behind it was interesting. Practically Steve is usually pulling much larger batches and can't move them as quickly because of the actual process of twisting and folding over itself. The hammer was a solution to the problem of it sticking. With smaller batches Steve might be able to avoid that step in the future.

I could be wrong but don't think it has anything to do with subscribers for either company!! It's more about Greg teaching them how to make this style candy & I'm sure Greg might very well have learned a few things from them. It's all candy but it's 2 different worlds!

I think it shows a lot about sines character when their willing to reach out and help others in the same line of work..you honestly don’t see this anymore. To many people with the mentality that if it doesn’t benefit them then their not concerned..Great job Greg!!! I also love the pride that Steve and Terry have for company that their willing to try new ways to make it better!!!

I read all the comments about Greg before the video got too far in and by the end of it I came the to consensus that everyone who said all those nasty things were watching a different video😂 greg wasnt being impatient, rude, or arrogant. I really enjoyed him honestly, he knew so much about what he was doing and it was fascinating
