How is cotton candy made?
Cotton candy is very simple to make. First sugar is melted into a liquid state and then spun it in the cotton candy machine. The machine forces the liquid through tiny holes that shape and cool the liquid sugar. After it cools, the sugar becomes a solid again. The center of the machine is filled with thousands of tiny threads that are collected and served on a stick.
Sorry, but you need the machine. It’s what makes the sugar change its consistency. There is a flavored powder product that you buy. You mix it with fine cane sugar and use the machine. Take a stick (or a plastic gloved hand) to wrap the flossy stuff around itself and…cotton candy! But the machine is vital.
