#51 Subaru STI candy.- Custom Candy Making 

These are the type of people I admire. A man who doesn't half-ass his livelihood and is exploding with his passion. Heck this man could be in an even better paying job because of his work ethic, but he didn't care and started doing what he likes. Hats off to you

Certainly one of your most complex creations from the numerous videos I have seen.

I've never seen a video from you that involves so much precision over temperature and with as tricky a design as that.

I will make it a mission to come see you guys

No way I have been watching this channel for over a year never did I think you guys would do my favorite thing in the world. Subaruuuuuu!!!!!!

3:17 ...A clean pull. No residue on the hook at all! ...It's like findin' a unicorn 😲

You've mastered your euclidean space, sir. I'd bet you would do great working with 3d computer graphics, especially with your design background. It hurts my head trying to figure out how to build 2d images into a pull-able candy.

I guess its only fitting getting a STI would leave a sour taste in your mouth

that's an unfortunate name for a Subaru company...

I find it clever that the guy ordering this chose blueberry specifically, as the "color to have" for STi-developed cars is a mica-infused blue they call, fittingly, "World Rally Blue," as it's the color most of Subaru's rally cars (which were actually developed in Britain!) sported during their golden years of rivalry with Mitsubishi for the World Rally Championship. Of course, we could assume that was a happy accident!

Might i Call this the SUGARU?

Its too bad no comic book stores have requested a superman S or bat logo or GL or flash, wonderwoman etc. It would be epic to see those made in hard candy!

Am i the only person that feels a little uncomfortable about eating candy with "STI" on it? lmao

This shows that making candy is just as much a work of engineering as it is an art. You know, I might order from you for my wedding! What is the Japanese style of image candy called, by the way? I'm very curious.

as a cartoonist/digital artist this video made me tense up so much from the complexity of the logo and the thought of how much time and energy that must've gone into something like this. something like that would have probably made me take a long break from candy making but you make it look so easy. x.x a true tell of the amount of experience you have doing this.

Whoa!!! You did it! You actually did it! That design seems like it'd be impossible to make in candy, but holy cow...!! There it is.😲😮😀

I hope I'm not the only juvenile person who laughed at the "rods going flat" part.

I need this candy. This would be great for a local subaru meet, I have an STi myself. Also all STi's are all wheel drive, not 4wd. 4wd is freely able to switch between 2wd mode and 4 wheel drive sending power to both axles. Subaru's AWD sends power to each wheel individually (basically) through 3 differentials.

Love the overlay showing where the various pieces go together to make the image! I sometimes struggled in previous videos trying to figure out how you were building the image, sometimes it was obvious, other times I was left scratching my head. Thanks!

When I was a kid, my whole family would travel down to England. We'd visit a seaside town and a big tourist draw (back then) was getting to see sticks of rock getting made in person. I discovered your channel a while back and it takes me right back to when I was wee yin, I end up losing so much time watching all these wonderful sweets get made. The production value of your videos is fantastic and I just want to thank for for not only helping keep these wonderful traditional methods alive, but also for taking the time that you do to create these videos. It's unlikely I'll ever be in the US, let alone Florida, but if I am there's a snowball's chance in hell of me not coming to visit.

as an automotive enthusiast with a sweet tooth I think this is pretty darn awesome!

Disliked the vid, you didn't look into the camera while you pulled the white with your usual goofy smile. Kidding, loved the vid as always, the STI logo came out pretty awesome and the Hazy red actually ads to it since the red used in the STI logo is a bit lighter aswel.

Oh I love this! My husband and his friends are huge car guys and he would love this! I’m going to send it to him! 😍❤️

I love your voice Greg, and your candies are beautiful . I look forward to each new video and rewatch old ones in anticipation between uploads.

Of course an STI dudebro wants his candies EXTREME SOUR!!!

These are some of my favorite videos on youtube

As an owner of two subarus, you did a great job with the description of the STI, and do a wonderful job with the production of the candy. Some day my family will come and visit in person.

As a Subaru owner; Thank you for the effort! As a sour candy lover; I'd love to try it!

I watch these vids for the candy but I mostly watch these vids to be satisfied. Doesn't anyone else

I am so excited! I will vist Lofty pursuits because of a school field trip! I'm so happy! hopefully my crush will sit next to me.... :)

I’m a huge Subaru fan. Seeing outsiders laughing at the STI badge is kinda funny. It’s incredible watching you work your magic Greg.

Love watching you work your art. The history stories make it that much better.

いつも見てます。 残念ながら英語が分からないから楽しさ半減かもしれないですが。 飴の出来る工程や柔らかい飴がとろ〜と流れるのが好きです。 アンティークっぽい型に入れて作る飴も好きで まだ繋がっている飴をほぐす所が好きです。 飴を作るのを見るのって何でこんなに幸せになれるのかしら♡ 私のコメント分からないかもしれないですが 一言で言うと、飴が大好きってことです😍

OMG an xkcd fan. :-)

Thanks for explaining to us how you go about planning for a "logo" inside the candy. Now my curiosity has been answered!! Also, Happy Spring Greg and the rest of the Logy Pursuits Family!!

Lol that rolling pin bit is hilarious.

When you speak of the design of the candy and the process of making it, you sound like you have a grudge. It sounds like, and looks like a lot of blood, sweat and tears went into this candy. And I must say, the end result looks beautiful and exactly the type of thing that I'd like, although blueberry isn't my flavor. You do fantastic work, keep it up.

This is a little off topic, but are you as excited as I am about the Black Currant Cola that Pepsi is producing in their 1893 lineup?

I am a brewer. Just like you we must document EVERYTHING and pay attention to small details such as temperatures, times, and flavor production. We are like mad scientists my friend. Cheers🍻🍻 I hope one day I can try your candy, and you can try my beer.

It made my day finding out that you read xkcd

I love everything about your videos! I love the music and the history lesson you always add in. Everything about your videos are great! please keep making them

It's torture watching these videos while waiting for you guys to get to my online order, lol. Oh well, the best stuff in life takes time.

Amazing example of just how complex the process can be.

Your a great narrator. Truly a pleasure to watch and learn a true art

Do you ever use Malic acid instead of Citric acid for candy- What are the pros and cons of them for candy making?

Do you do classes?

wow, never knew you could put so much detail into hand made candy!

Subaru is one of my fav car manufacturers. And Lofty Pursuits is my favourite candy manufacturer

Subie gang

before you put the finished logo in the log, it really looked like bacon. lol

Hats off to ya brother. That took some critical thinking and craftsmanship

Amazing artistry, Greg! It was thoughtful to show the different parts of the logo that you were creating as you were doing it with the sugar. It made it much easier to visualize what you were doing. This looked like a very challenging design to create, but the result was great! Thanks for sharing. :)

My girlfriend gave me an STI.

Well done! Love the detailing of your process, you haven't done that very many times! Was this your most complex design ever? I may have missed a few. :)

That's a candy masterpiece! I love Cars and I love candy too, never thought I would see them togheter!

The phrase "We appreciate u visiting us " wants me to go to tallahassee..grtz from the netherlands

subaru technica international

I really like that image style. How are you faring with catching up on back orders? Just curious so I know about when to expect my order from a while back.

No matter what subject matter it is, as long as it's got a good level of skill and workmanship I can deeply appreciate most videos and this was very entertaining indeed!

The mastery at play here never ceases to amaze.

you always talk about how important temperature is, have you ever considered a patreon or gofundme for a FLIR camera? then you could actually see the different temps like you say!

When i saw the thumbnail i thought they made S.T.I infused candy. Imagine eating a gummy bear and getting aids.

I just got my candy order and it is so good!!!! I got blueberry and variety pack, it's the best candy I've ever had!

I really enjoyed this style of video. From explaining the design to the sketch and especially the graphic showing the design coming together. Awesome vid!

The actual candy design turned out great! The name of Subaru's product is gross. Did their R&D guys get mad at the marketing guys & just let them run with this horrible abbreviation?

lol sti

sour blueberry is one of the best flavors. and i'm a fan of the more sour flavors in general

An AMAZING job !!! You have certainly found your calling in life. You are a perfect candy man !!

Subaru fans won't correct you because they don't even know what their talking about.

Evos all day

An interesting point about your customer's flavor choice is that an iconic COLOR for the Subarus/STI cars is a very unique, vibrant BLUE color. Very cool and well thought-out to do the flavor as sour blueberry, as well. :D

i love how these videos are like... showing how much of a science that candy making can be. like. thats so interesting

Amazing skill ❤️such a beautiful way to keep handmade artisan candy alive .. I absolutely love this

So this was made with some of the best tasting colors. Its gonna be good!

This channel is underrated and deserves a lot more subs!

First time im actually eating candy while watching a lofty pursuits video. Its nice because I hate craving candy while watching these videos lol

I kinda scratched my head about the flavor, but of course, the most famous Subaru color is "World Rally Blue", so sour blueberry "hidden" in the standard STI colors makes total sense! The results are really stunning!!

I'm addicted to this channel

Pleasantly surprised to hear some ska-jazz in this video, Greg!

Oh my god i was watching you making cough drops in the morning and now after binging for 7 hours i found this, this is gold

Well, that was impressive. Honestly didn't think it would come out that good.

You are an artist, what beautiful craftsmanship!

anyone else nervous while he was making the stamp/logo? lol! anyway - it was so cool to learn about your thought process going into planning the candy, your sketches, etc. and the extra information of why you did what you did to put the design together. it's amazing how something that looks so simple was really so complex!

Simply OUTSTANDING. You are a candy making GENIUS!!!!❤❤❤❤

Extremely talented. Definitely calling in when I'm in the area.

From a Subaru Ambassador, this was awesome! Great work!

Got your amazing candy a few days ago. Acid drops are great. Hope to order again soon. Greetings from Portugal

My goodness...now that is true and absolute craftsmanship.

Before I saw this video, I thought you were pretty cool and I enjoyed your videos. In this video you blew my mind with the complexity of the design. You're a candy wizard! Also, I love XKCD!

This is so cool! I’ve seen so many of your videos idk how this one slipped by me!

Is it just me or is his videos satisfying?

You got to be a cool guy to work for. I know it ain't easy but it must be rewarding.

Loved the logo/badge to follow along

That came out really well :)

Your voice is so therapeutic!!

There really is an XKCD comic for everything. :P It's always a pleasure watching you make candy! I can't wait to see it happen in person someday. ^^

ahhh, the subaru wrx impreza sti. a beautiful rally car. this was very cool to watch

I love the background music in all of your videos👍

1. This is an AMAZING video 2. You sound exactly, exactly like somebody else I know, to a degree that is blowing my mind.

Impreza. I have one. It’s like driving a hummingbird. Plus I can haul a drum set in the back and snow is no issue. At 30 mpg you couldn’t dynamite me outta that car!
