I Made Custom Hard Candy From Scratch

[@safiya]

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

You were great and so is ur dad

[@calichef1962]

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!

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.

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

[@vickiems]

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!

[@MorganBArt07]

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.
