Welcome back guys. Today we're bringing you another lovely animal,
the most requested design from our last video's comments.
An Akita Dog.
Now we add the colour. At this stage, the candy is still extremely hot. You can see when we put the colour in,
it steams out the water right away.
Now we're pouring it onto the cooling table, so it cools down to a temperature for us to work with.
As you can see now, the candy is super soft, that means it is still very hot.
So we need to spread it out on the table once in a while, so that it cools down evenly, and fast.
Now we're going to add in the citric acid.
Today's flavour is tangerine, which requires quite a bit of acid.
From the previous videos, people ask us where does the acid come from?
It comes from a well known fruit, lemon.
So now we're cooling it off on the granite table. This table serves to cool it off evenly.
While it cools off we have to spread it out and fold it
nonstop so that is cools down evenly.
Many people ask us from previous videos, do the colours have the same flavours or different flavours?
The answer to that question is, each batch has the same flavour - however,
All the candies in the shop have different flavours.
Here we go!
Right now I'm stretching this big piece of candy. We have to stretch it until it's white.
In order to do that we have to stretch this 120 times, sometimes 200 times!
By doing this, we fold little air bubbles into the candy.
What the air bubbles do is allow the light to reflect and make the candy more opaque and white.
It also adds a great texture to the candy. It makes it easy to chew and crunchy.
That's why our hard candies are chewable.
How I will put this piece of candy on the hot table, where we shape
the candy and maintain its temperature.
Look how white it is now!
One, two,
three!
This is a much smaller piece than earlier, none the less, we still have to stretch it 120 times.
For smaller sizes like these, we don't need to do it on the hook.
We will do it by hand on the table.
We will start off today by making the eye of the dog.
The upper part of the dog is orange coloured.
Now we're putting on water. Water is like super glue for candies.
That's what we use to stick one piece to another.
As you know, the Akita dogs, it looks like they have a little eyebrow
on top of their eyes.
So, this is what I'm going to make right now.
So from one eye, we stretch it really really long, then cut it in the middle.
That gives us two identical eyes,
so we don't have to make the eye twice.
Now we're going to assemble the two eyes together.
We got to make sure we put them together with the right orientation.
You don't want one eye up, and one eye down!
So now, we're making the nose!
So now that we have the nose, we will attach a mouth underneither it.
Now we're going to put the mouth and the eye piece together.
We will now wrap around the entire face.
These triangles are going to be used for the ears of the dog.
Excellent!
Good!
Perfect!
Now this is where the magic happens. How we make this giant piece into smaller candies.
Now we have to chop the candies one by one.
