greg talking about his wife at the beginning made me 🥺💖

Jake did an especially good job flipping the candy on the cooling table.

I love listening to the historical references while you make the fascinating candies!!!

The history lesson, the candy making...this is the strangest channel on KZfaq and I can't get enough! Thank you so much for being you.

All the candies piled into a heart shape at the end made me smile.

I always love the amount of research you do for us Greg. Thank you so much! Its always so interesting. Love from Melbourne, Australia.

The slow motion of the candy dropping is so satisfying😍😍

Frans Hals' portrait of 'The Laughing Cavalier' was probably a commission to be gifted to the Cavalier's intended bride, and the Cavalier's sleeves are decorated with... heart designs. He literally wore 'his heart on his sleeve'...

Never been this early for Greg to potentially see my comment! You're what us Albertans call a grade-A Beauty! Thanks for the hard work making the candy, shooting the videos, writing the scripts, finding music and uploading these! Much appreciated.

Those machines , the shop, the narrator wow

It’s been a while since I kept up with your videos, and I honestly don’t know why. I love this channel, and I’m now going through the backlog of videos I’ve missed. I still have the postcard that you signed for me when my girlfriend was in Florida and stopped by the shop for lunch on her way home! And the most exciting thing is that now, I’m actually a professional candymaker as well! I started working at a shop that makes fudge and other confections about 6 months ago, and took to it immediately. I was so good at my job that when the manager left for other opportunities, I was offered the position! I probably wouldn’t have even applied for the job if I hadn’t started watching your videos years ago!

How convenient! I just ate the last of my Christmas candy yesterday, and Valentine's day candy is ready.

at 4:07 in the video, the candy on the table actually looks like an anatomically correct heart.

Your voice is so calming. You'd be so good at narrating books.

It impresses me how little waste candy is made from the drops.

His candy tastes good, especially the image candy.

I love watching these and almost falling asleep to your voice 😂😂

You are a national treasure...saving and restoring these antique candy presses. There is a tremendous value in sharing knowledge from the past

Man I love these old rollers I remember when you got that other old one a while back. I need to watch more of these videos I forget how addicting they are.

Thank you for having Jake, the man who has my heart, making heart candies!

I will never get tired of watching these videos ❤

Jake needs his own channel...

I’m from Finland and here Valentines isn’t as linked to romance. Finnish name translates to Friend’s day witch I think is cute. When I was growing up the friendship angle was important and generally remembering friends and sending them a card or small gift considered be core of the holiday. Still same hearts and stuff but different flavor. Of course now day American pop culture has brought the more romantic experiences to surface but still I like the Finnish way too.

Love the new (old) roller! Great collection on the wall! Thanks for sharing!!

I like all your video's but the drop one's are my favourite, the old machinery is great. Thank you.

Wow, I loved the research on Valentine’s Day! Thank you Greg ^^

This is my favorite channel. Wonderful work!

Love this! Keep up the great work, guys.

This looks SOO GOOD

These are so cute! Another great video!

so satisfying to watch, as always

Love you’re channel have always learned some interesting facts

Great job jake. Love the idea Greg.

I'm so excited for Valentine's day this year! Definitely planning to get this candy!!💕

Such interesting origins of traditions! And that slow mo at the end wooooow! 💗

Hey Greg, when you set up the drop rollers, how do you make sure the top and bottom halves of the design line up?

Nice show as always.

Thank you, Greg!

If you show us another batch in this series of Jewel Hearts, please talk about why hard candy looks like gemstones. I think that might be fun.

Man, I am so glad I subscribed to you guys. Your videos are always fantastic, and I love the little history tidbits you out in sometimes. Plus, your voice is just great to listen to

Absolutely beautiful drops these ones

I liked the slow-mo of the drop. Thank you for another video

Good morning Greg!! Happy New Year as well!

Thank you Greg & Jake - Jake - watching you make that candy is watching poetry in motion .. Greg you have a beautiful soothing voice. Good Job Men!

I love the drop candy videos! The heart ❤️ was cute!

So beautiful! And edible! Thank you for keeping the past alive!!!

Love Jake's tattoo!

Wholesome video

Nice job Jake!

I just love your podcast!!❤️❤️

Already pre-ordered. Gf gonna love these.

I love the information we get about something that we take for granted while we eat away at history.

Thank you.

Love your vids Greg

Slowly working my way through all the candy I bought for Christmas! Gonna try the Acid Drops next~

i ordered some of the forbidden fruit and black current candies off your website today, im very excited to try some.

Greg sounds like the sweetest man💖😭

i just bought 3 batches of diffrent candy i cant wait for it to be shipped

I want to make candy like this but I don't think they have candy shops like this in Canada, Alberta, Calgary.. :(

When you find out Greg is happily married :’)

The little flashings would make a great flavor enchancer for a glass of iced Dr. Pepper or Coca-Cola!

I love how Greg chose to make this for valentine not because I'd sell well but because he wants to give it to his wife.

I think I can recite an entire Lofty video by memory

Already preordered the strawberries and cream

valentines gift from greg? i can only dream

Your vids are like mini documentaries and I found out you ship even to Czech republic .. nice . Lime sour soda drops here I go !

What is the Flavoring used for Cream? Normally I'm used to seeing Creamy candy with a creamy opaque color, which I always assumed was due to some sort of powdered cream derivative.

The downfall of the Roman Empire was Valentine's Day. Lol

I dig the Jazz.

Got this one

The story one of my history professors told us is that it has to do with a clergyman who was asked by the masses to get a certain game bird to reproduce more prolifically because of a famine.

*started watching channel after watching heart shaped cinnamon candy video* *Now gets a notification for heart candy after thinking if revisiting this channel* Oh yes it's all coming together

I like that machine's mold shape

I was hoping for cinnamon!! But this flavor assortment sounds amazing too. 😊👍

First time watcher and I have to say that the narrator make me think of that Night Vale podcast. So smooth.

As a librarian, I love the extra facts you connect to candy

Tempted to order some but still waiting for my order from a week and a half ago to ship. Guessing I must've picked something LP was out of.

I noticed that you often add the color at the cooling table, but this time you added it before. What's the difference? Is it just because you only needed one color here?

Lofty pursuits can u do a video showing and explaining the cooling table

Do drop rollers have to be made of a specific material? I work in a fabrication shop and we are working on building a c and c router and i would like to maybe make some?

Get yourself a husband that’ll make you countless candy gem hearts that are in flavours he associates with you. 😭 that’s so sweet

My husband and I are having a baby! (A baby is always a big deal... but weve been trying for 8 years and it is finally happening!!) We were thinking of doing a custom order for image candy with maybe a baby bottle or something else cutsie for babies. Then I realized, hey! This would be a cute addition to your shop! Lots of reasons to buy candy. (Not that you NEED a reason to buy candy...) But we searched for cute ways to celebrate a baby shower and to send gifts to relatives to announce the baby. How cute would it be to have a baby assortment? Anyone else have ideas? I thought of easy images: rubber duck, baby bottle, rattle, even a baby onesie might work out, and just the word "BABY" would look adorable!

You should do a monthly give away

Does anyone know more about the brass rollers on the candy machine? My grandfather made candy and I have a bunch of these brass rollers framed and displayed currently. I"m curious about the markings on one set that says M&M on them. The candy shape is square with the M&M printed in the center. Thanks for anyones help that reads this! My grandfather also left me a bunch of chocolate molds and even though I never got to meet him I treasure these gifts.

I would love to buy some but the shipping to england is far too expensive for me 😭

Did he add the citric acid?

Jake is a heart breaker?

You guys should sell the dust

Can you put the citric acid in the kettle before pouring it out onto the table?

Lead paint lead metal?

How long did it take Jake to roll all of that hot candy?

Can we see more of jake please? He's bae 😍😍😍

The idea of saints is a odd one, but as Greg said there is an official docket of saints, which are all supposedly real people. Also said list is continually growing, for example Mother Theresa was made a saint in 2003. However, the real strange part is saints are basically whoever they wanted so long as the person is deceased. So there are saints that pre-date Christ, some saints aren't even Christian, and others became saints for simply being pope. But some saints have well known in modern culture like Saint Patrick and Saint Nicholas.

No I love you

Make more grape candies!!

How is this the first time you used the drop roller????

I'm wondering. why add the citric acid on the table, instead of to the pot?

Please make more sugar free candy! My best friend’s mom is diabetic and I really want to surprise her!

anything other than cherry or cinnamon for valentines day seems wrong

That’s why they’re called drops?!?!?
