They taste amazing had to buy another bag

The violet candy is cool and all, but tossing the sponge and having it land upright?? Thats amazing

I love that you study candy, you don't just make it, Greg. I love that you study it's history and take us around the world with you via your storytelling. I also love the poetry that you throw in. Speaking of violets, Enya released an album several years ago called Sumerigusa, meaning Wild Violet. One of the songs is inspired by a Japanese haiku about violets and its a great listen!

If you could get the sugar to maintain that beautiful amber color when it's thinner you could make Jurassic Park candy like that piece of fossilized amber with the bug inside. The only question is what flavor? Pine?

"We serve brunch from 7am to 2pm and I scream from 2pm to 10pm!"

I candy violets every year for cake toppings and the like. In fact, on one side of my neighborhood, the violets have mutated to have white spirals on the petals that make a really pretty flourish.

oh boy oh boy if I can I’m gonna order some of these for my girlfriend! Came back to confirm that I did order some of these for my girlfriend! Candied violets are one of my favorite things I’ve eaten, and I’m so happy she’ll finally get the chance to try something similar to them! Back again to say they got here and I test tasted one, and it was really delicious! Totally worth ordering!

I just got my candy in the mail, and I have to say, this Violet candy is some of the best candy I’ve ever had in my life. It’s such a subtle yet delicious flavor and it absolutely blows my mind. I don’t have a basis to go off of, but it tastes amazing.

Do you think you guys might ever start selling stickers or hoodies? I'd love to plaster my laptop in a sticker or two, and I'd LOVE to wear a nice comfy candy themed hoodie from you guys!

I think it's interesting that you come up with the flavors, and I really liked the dill pickle video for this reason. If you make the flavored oils in-house, I think it would be an interesting video to see how that process works

Okay, can we visit the fact that he calls it his "can-vil"?

I love the crystal flower series, i can't wait till you do orange blossom or honeysuckle.

When I went to Toulouse in 2005, I brought back violet lollipops for everyone. As a person who likes floral flavors, they were great! I also brought back a small bottle of violet liqueur, which was absolutely lovely. (Psst... any plans on doing an elderflower flavored candy? I already loved the rose drops in the rare flavors mix I got.)

When Greg says, "and I was not going to Spain" he sounds like he has so much disdain towards Spain

French here and got super excited seeing violet in the title. It was my favorite treat as a child. Really happy to see not just your usual great research but that you got to experience the real thing too.

6:14 just made my mouth dropped. The luck of the sponge Landing so smoothly just gives the presentation that you are all professional candy makers. And I know you are too ;)

I see a lofty pursuits video, I click. I’m a simple man.

I love how you speak in a poem form or an essay to a lover.

French violet sweets are absolutely AMAZING!

have you seen hercules candy’s lime ribbon candy video?? they had a question for you!

7:32 Only 4 days since the last velociraptor incident? you guys must have an infestation, lol. jokes aside, I love these videos

Here where I live we have violet pastilles. I used to love them as a kid. There's one with just violet and a liquorice with violet. This made me nostalgic for them.

The floral flavored flower candies are my favorite! Already love the rose and lavender, will have to try the violet!

You’re the best candy maker around Greg. Thanks for all you do.

I love violet flavor and I'm looking forward to trying the candy I just ordered.

I could listen to you talk about candy all day, your enthusiam towards your craft really takes these videos to another level! xx

One of my favorite channels to watch when trying to relax good ambient music, your relaxing voice, stimulating visuals the whole works.

It's always a joy to watch a skilled craftsman at work.

Each time I come back, your voice keeps getting even more calming.

My man is a candy making black belt out here.

I hope these will continue to be made! I’ve planned for a long while to get the rose candies as a gift to myself when I graduate university in a few months but violets were my grandma’s favorite and so violet candy would be so special

"Someday I hope, as there is always more to learn." Words to live by, provided someday becomes a reality every day.

I've ordered candy from Lofty Pursuits and the Nectar flavor is great when your throat is rough.

watching you cut down the candy rods with the bench scraper and watching you break apart the sheets of drop candy are some of my favorite parts of these videos. thank you for making these videos and making them so educational

It's great to see how much love you put into your endeavors, keep up the awesome work

A master at his craft should we all be so lucky to do what we love in the pursuit of happiness

I really like these videos. The candy making and your voice, they are so relaxing.

You're great attitude and passion for candy helps me get through hard times without even trying thank you

I hope this isn't a limited flavor. They are delectable.

They look so beautiful!

I love lofty putsuits you have inspired me to start making my own candy and sweet treats you guys are amazing

Oh, that’s cool as hell! I’ve never seen crystal candy like that. The artwork in creating it is fabulous!

A handful of years ago, I made violet jam with my grandma from flowers in the area. That was really tasty; had a nice, delicate flavor to it. Thanks for the flashback!

I love these crystal flower candies, they are so, so pretty. It really feels like edible millefiore art.

Why are the unicorn dropping so large? It seems like it would be a lot of pieces that you could utilize from that section....Also does the end of the log make another dropping? Can you show us, in a video, how many rods come out of one log? Please keep up the good work-your candy is amazing!!👏🏾👏🏾

THE CANDY MAN CAN!!!! :) i love your vids:)

I’ve watched all your videos, your voice is so soothing it makes me fall asleep. ❤️

I gotta go visit this place when I head down to Tallahassee again... My mom hates candy but I LOVE it, and I want to try some candy with her. I only live about 5 hours away in Jax, and honestly? Lofty Pursuits will make the trip sooooo worth the wait.

I've been binging your videos recently, this is the most beautiful sweet I've seen so far, a piece of art.

Super cute! Violet is my favourite flavour 💕

Greg, your crystal candies are the most gorgeous candies I’ve ever seen! And I love the history and insights you offer, The local jazz gives a lovely community “flavor.” If I ever make it to Tallahassee, I’ll be sure to stop by and pick up some of your fantastic goodies!

What a delightful video.

I love when the wild violets boom in the spring--they are so tasty!

That’s a beautiful finished design

I love the little candy run down. as many of these i watch i appreciate how thurough you are in explanation, yeah a lot of people might ahve heard you give the same talk on the importance of driving out the water, using hot sugar to evap water from dye, ect. But its that new guy that gets the rundown no matter the video that sparked his interest guaranteed that makes it def worth it.

Just ordered this violet candy and the crystal roses, I’m super excited to finally try your candy!

A friend from Tallahassee just sent me some peach and the specialty rose packs. The peach is sooo good!

Another great video, Greg! Loved it!

There is always more to learn 😊Thankyou. Now I must try violet candy

Thx Greg can’t wait to get these there arriving soon!!

Mesmerising

I received my order today and this candy is great. Parma violets have always been one of my favourite candies. I was really interested to try this new type of violet flavour and was not disappointed. Thanks so much!

You have charmed me with your candy making. I bought some on the spot and plan on sharing it with friends and family as my valentine to them. Thank you for bringing something so beautiful to youtube!

Favorite part of these videos is the music and gregs voice

Why are these videos so satisfying

Just got my bag these are so good!! So flowery!! 💐💐

Yay! Just ordered some! You had me at the research you did on the violet flavor.

These candies look so beautiful and tasty at the same time, I have to convince my dad to get me a bag for valentines day

Thank you for doing these!

I love tht when its start bubblingg 😮

This is what I’m asking for on my Christmas list

they make violet drops in Liege Belgium

I've been to Toulouse a few times and the candied violets are one of my favourites. I bought some candy from you guys a few years ago. But since I'm from Australia it's a bit expensive but I might have to get some of these!!

i like this guy, the sound of his voice and his background music taste and he makes candy

Hi, Greg! I'm curious if you've ever made candy with a different sugar than white cane as the base? Also, real violets are used in making the liqueur Creme de Violette by Rothman & Winter - available in the USA.

Man I would love to try this. I love the violet candy squares. Thank you for sharing 🌞🌞🌞

I entirely expected to not recognize this flavor but lo and behold it was like a trip down memory lane, back to my late grandparents' old antique shop of the '80s and '90s where they also sold nice floral sachets and a few Victorian reproduction knick-knacks like hand mirrors and art prints. I just had no context of what that heavenly aroma was, but now I can eat it! Thank you, guys!

This candy is delicious. I got it for my brother’s birthday and it’s my favorite out of the four flavors we got. He doesn’t like it as much so he gave me the bag. Yay!

Hey Greg! Really enjoy these videos and your stories as well!

Never been to Florida but this is a must stop destination for me.

I opened this video expecting it to be another one of the candy making videos that watch to relax, but when you said Tallahassee, my eyes shot open. I live in Tallahassee! Why have I never been here? (And are you hiring? 😂)

So satisfying

When the sponge landed on its side lol

Just ordered a bag! I’m excited to try them

My mom bought me some candy from the website today! I'm so excited for it! I hope it gets here quickly!

This is just so unbearably pleasant it makes me want to squeal! 😍😉

Roses are red, Violets are blue, They make candy, And it looks good too.

Your flower flavors are always so amazing! It would be amazing to see a flower bouquet assortment of drops with all your flower flavors in a pack.

It’s been six weeks since I started watching these, I think its time to learn how to make some candy

I had violet gum once, it's great!

I was patient enough to catch that Impatiens pun near the end😂

These were extremely tasty. They were not too strong, and not too weak.

Oh, I like this❤️

These are cute candies - I just ordered some.

Looking good Greg! Keep up the great vids x x

That's delightful 😀

Is NOONE gonna mention how satisfying the can't cutting is?

Thumbs up for Greg’s selfie!! 👍🏼

just ordered these plus the honey lavender cough drops!! i’m super excited for my floral flavored candies :)

Just got my order of violet candy in today from you. Amazing job with the flavor balance! It's so difficult to balance floral flavors without it tasting like you're chugging perfume, but you got it fantastic! Also just really cool to eat something while watching a video of it being made.
