Greg, a hint for the close ups. Always put your your spare hand in front of the background. That way, the camera doesn't focus the candy in the back. You put the hand holding the candy between the camera and your spare hand, so we get a white background for the candy to pop in front of. Should allow for any future candy with amazing detail to really shine through.

I was really missing these videos. I'm so glad that you're updating more often!

Peach is my favourite flavour in the whole wide world! I've been working on a shopping cart on your website and I definitely need these! Watching the sheets become drops is the most satisfying thing.

That is some good peach candy. I also like the fact that you give all of your vintage machinery some love and care - like you said, they were meant to be used.

I just want to say thank you for uploading all of these videos. I have chronic anxiety attacks and watching your candy making videos really helps me relax a lot.

Hey I just listen to the cruxshadows song that you used for your black candy canes video and I love it. Thank you for sharing his band with us.

Another masterpiece! My favorite part of your videos is watching you fold the candy

"Peachless" omg. Honestly every time i watch these i enjoy Greg as much as the candy. Hes so precious and wholesome. And its awesome hearing the happiness in someones voice when they talk about what they are passionate about, and you can definitely tell he loves his job, like when he talks about the candy shaping thingy

Your genuine love for your work makes me so happy

i've clicked your peach candy process while i'm drinking down my homemade peach iced tea - a good coincidence. thanks candyman!

The candy look amazing! You did a great job making them. Keep up the amazing work! I've actually thinking about buying some myself, online of course, so I can try them, they look soo delicious when i watch and just want to try them.

I love your videos, they bring me back to a better time. When life was good, people were nice and neighbors helped neighbors. When getting a piece of candy was meant you did something good and it was homemade and yummy. Thank you for all your hard work.

Beautiful as always and the candy looks delicious! The music was a lovely touch too. Glad to hear your ex-house band still has lovely music floating around.

These peach drops are by far the best candy in the world. Working as a pastry chef for 12 years and a candy maker for 3, the flavor of these jewels are so on point and that is not easy to do. I can't wait for my order to come in so i can enjoy them and the other candies I bought.

Oooh these look delightful! Such a pretty color and shape. Your videos are wonderfully satisfying and relaxing to watch. I love that you use antique rollers, it's such a neat aspect of your work. And I did not know that lemon drops were called that because you drop them to break them! What a fun little factoid!

I was down in Orlando this past spring for my make a wish. We sadly only had 5 days to do everything but visiting your shop is definitely on my bucket-list. Those drops look so tasty!

I love how old school you make the candy. It reminds me of my elementary school days. It was in the '90s and early '00s. My school was pretty old, it looked like everything was from the '70s

The candy is looking so beautiful.

I'm an engineering student and watching those rollers is so satisfying. They have that combined beauty that only purely mechanic machines have. The gears mesh with just the right play to turn easily and the pattern is self centering as the hot candy compresses against the surface, partly solidifying into an outer shell against the room temperature rollers. You don't need to crank it unnaturally fast and having just two moving parts is as elegant as can be. The naturally formed slip bearings between the rollers and the frame parts is the icing on the cake. Everything on it has a purpose. They don't make them like that anymore. P.S. Have you ever tried coating just the top side of a "sheet" with something as it comes out of the roller? I think something that would slightly dampen the taste would make the initial flavor last longer as that coating dissolves.

I've watched that single peach drop refusing to let go of the roller at 3:40 three times now and it never fails to make me laugh 😹

Great job Again Greg ! Thanks for sharing !

I absolutely LOVE the move of the sweets when they come out of the roller. It's a glossy wave.
