Making Strawberry Shaped Candy Drops With a Restored 19th Century Victorian Era Candy Machine

Artisan candy maker Gregory Cohen, owner of Lofty Pursuits in Tallahassee, Florida demonstrated the fascinating process of making strawberry shaped candy drops on a refurbished victorian era machine that was used in Alaska during the 1800’s.

The Klondike gold rush national historical park sent us a machine to restore for them a while back. This is the video of us using the restored machine to make strawberry candy off some rollers of theirs.
