Ingredients
  

For the Fairy Floss

  • 2 cups Granulated sugar Can be white or colored
  • 1 tbsp Food coloring Optional for colored floss
  • 1 tsp Flavor extracts e.g., vanilla, strawberry, etc.
  • 1 tbsp Edible glitter Assorted colors

For Assembling

  • 10 cones Paper or cardboard cones

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • If using colored fairy floss, mix a few drops of food coloring into the granulated sugar until evenly distributed.
  • Add any desired flavor extract to the sugar for a unique taste.

Setup

  • Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to set up your cotton candy machine and ensure it’s clean and ready for use.

Making Fairy Floss

  • Pour the colored or flavored sugar into the machine and turn it on, waiting for it to heat up.
  • Using a cone, carefully collect the spun sugar as it comes out, using a gentle swirling motion to create a fluffy mound on the cone.

Adding Edible Glitter

  • Sprinkle edible glitter throughout as you build the fairy floss to create a sparkling effect.
  • Layer the glitter between the cotton candy to ensure it’s well-distributed.

Serving

  • Serve the fluffy and sparkly fairy floss immediately for the best texture.

Notes

Avoid moisture by keeping finished cones in a cool, dry place to maintain texture.
