Know a Good Lolliologist?
I’ve never been a real big candy person; coffecake and doughnuts are more my weakness. But my kids, of which I have way too many, love candy beyond all reason. So we make candy sometimes, spending long hours pouring through recipes and deciding on a project, then plotting the exact variation we plan to make, and debating various “improvements” we might add to the chosen sweet. Candy making day sees my kids reach their giddy peak, although I confess I have sometimes assigned separate projects to the kids rather than all work on the same recipe at the same time. It greatly cuts down on the sibling arguments.
For all that, though, our candy making is fairly rudimentary. Candy making is a fine art, one that requires precision and care. Which is why fine candies are so very intriguing.
The video below shows a true “lolliologist” at work, making a wonderfully unique hard candy with words written in the middle. You’ll be amazed at how they accomplish this.
