Candy Cane Production Process

The video tutorial explains the process of making candy canes, starting with cooking sugar, water, and corn syrup. It then covers mixing starch and flavoring, stretching and aerating the candy, rolling it into logs, and adding red strips. The candy is then slimmed down to candy cane size, twisted, and cut. The process is highly choreographed to ensure quality.
