What is a fairy floss machine?
It is a machine for making fairy floss (in Australian English), which is also known as cotton candy (American E.) or candy floss (UK). The machine itself consists of a bowl in which sugar for the floss is put. The bowl spins at a high speed and its edges are heated, melting the sugar. As the melted sugar comes in contact with cool air, it turns solid again, in the form of cotton-like substance. If you twirl a stick near the edges of the bowl, it will gather the floss and voila, that’s how fairy floss is made.
