These lollipops are so small. I wish I had a big one. Let's make one!
In this video I'm going to show you how to make the biggest lollipop in the world. I'll
show you two different recipes, which are both easy to make and super yummy to taste!
Hey loves! I have a super exciting video to share with you – I'm going to show you how
to make a giant lollipop. I had so much fun making it, it turned out amazing. Plus it
tastes exactly like a store – bought lollipop, which is pretty awesome. I'm going to show
you two different recipes. Both very easy and super yummy. So I hope you are in the
mood for something sweet, because we're going to get started.
This is also a massive collab with Glitter forever 17, Glamour life fox, Alejandro Valdes,
Timmy Timato , Chelsea Crockett, SoCraftastic, Gillian Bower and Clarissa May. We are all
making giant slash edible DIYs. All videos will be linked in the description bar, but
first - here's how you can make a giant lollipop!
Making a lollipop from scratch is super easy and you probably already have all the ingredients
at home. For the first recipe we need a giant mold, one part of water, one and a half parts
of corn syrup, three and a half parts of sugar, cooking pot, candy thermometer, food coloring,
flavoring of your choice and a lollipop stick.
First let's prepare the mold. I am making mine in this large pink tray. We have got
to cut out the opening for our huge lollipop stick.
Take a cooking pan – mine has to be pretty huge. I am using about 7 and a half cups of
sugar, 3 cups of corn syrup and 2 cups of water. If you are making smaller lollipops
you will of course need much less of these ingredients. Place the pan with your sugar,
water and corn syrup mixture on the stove and start cooking at a medium heat. Be sure
to stir it constantly so that it doesn't burn. When the mixture starts boiling it's time
to add the color to your lollipop – I am using yellow. The lollipop has a nice caramell-ish
taste by default, but you can add flavor of your choice as well. Dip a candy thermometer
into your mixture and wait until the mix reaches the temperature of 300 Fahrenheit or 150 degrees
Celsius. Your mixture has to reach this temperature if you want your lollipop to set hard. Now
we can take our pan off the heat and pour our melted lollipop into the mold to set.
As you can see I covered my mold with parchment paper to assure that the lollipop won't stick
to the tray. Be very careful as the mixture is super hot and you might need to ask an
adult to help you. Look at this awesome bubbles our lollipop is making wow, so cool! Leave
your lollipop to cool down completely.
OK, time to take this beauty out of the mold! Remove the parchment paper and look at this
masterpiece! I decided to take my lollipop to the next level and add a pair of eyes and
mouth to it. So let's quickly make a blue lollipop mixture to pour in. In the bowl I
am putting three and a half parts of sugar, one and a half parts of corn syrup and and
one part water. Bring that to a boil while constantly stirring. I added a bit of blue
food coloring. Keep stirring until the mixture reaches the hard crack stage at 300 degrees
Fahrenheit. Now we can pour the blue lollipop mix into the eye and mouth molds. I made these
little molds from cardboard and parchment paper.
I think giving a face to our lollipop made it so much more special! Once this is completely
set, you can remove the molds and look at this perfection! I mean come on! Isn't it
crazy beautiful?! I am so pleased with how this lollipop turned out. And honestly I was
pretty surprised to find out that it tastes exactly like store bought lollipops. You can
of course make yours using any color you like. I chose yellow for mine because I wanted it
to look like emoji. I had so much fun with this DIY and I couldn't be happier with the
result. Me and Mr lollipop we've really bonded, yeah we're BFFs.
If you want to make small and a bit more practical lollipops you can just pour the mixture on
a parchment paper. These lollies set very quickly because they are thin and small. The
ingredients are so affordable and just think how many lollipops you can make using one
cup of sugar. A lot of lollipops! You can make them using different colors and they
taste amazing! Alternatively you can just pour the mixture on a tray, like I'm doing
here. You get this large sweet piece which you can then crush into little hard candy
pieces. Yummy and inexpensive treat!
You shall not pass! Oh no!
Since in some countries corn syrup is a bit hard to get hold of, I am going to show you
how you can make a lollipop without it! I'll make this big yummy heart lollipop.
You'll need a cooking pan, a silicone mold of your choice, one part of water, two parts
of sugar, food coloring and a lollipop stick. Yep only three ingredients, how cool is that?
Let's prepare our mold first. Using a knife make a cross cut in the mold edge like this.
Take any kind of stick, I just decided to use a wooden cooking spoon and put it through
the opening. Grab some oil or a non stick cooking spray and spray a few times into the
mold to make sure your lollipop won't stick.
Now let's put together our three ingredient lollipop. Put two parts of sugar and one part
of water into a cooking pan. Just make sure that the amount of sugar is double the amount
of water. Give it a quick stir and put the pan over the stove. Cook on low to medium
heat while constantly stirring. When the mixture starts boiling you can put in a bit of food
coloring. This time I went for the beautiful teal color. Keep boiling and stirring until
the melted sugar reaches 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Time for the fun part – we can now pour
our lolly mixture into the mold and wait for it to cool completely. I think it's so fascinating
to watch the mixture cooling down. These bubbles are completely mesmerizing. Once your lollipop
is set, you can take it out of the mold and you are finished! How flipping adorable! And
to think that we only needed water, sugar and food coloring to make this. Crazy!
Making my own lollipops was seriously so much fun. When I first started thinking of making
a giant lollipop I thought it would be so tricky and complicated. It is the same in
life. Going into the unknown to try new things may be scary and intimidating. But sometimes
you just have to jump in and have faith that great things will happen. Don't think about
everything that could go wrong, focus on the positive instead and fight the obstacles when
they arrive. Gosh, those are some pretty deep thoughts for a lollipop tutorial.
Hope you liked this giant lollipop tutorial! Give it some love for more DIY videos and
tell me in the comments which lollipop flavor is your favorite. Imagine you're in a store.
You're about to pick a lollipop. Which flavor do you chose? I normally go for Cola and sometimes
apple. Anyway, thank you so much for watching this video and don't forget to check out other
videos from this collab, they are all pretty epic, and I will see you soon. Bye!
They say that it's the little things in life that count the most. I agree, but there's
also big or giant things in life that make it that extra special ;)
