Ingredients
  

Sugar Mixture

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon corn syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon flavoring (vanilla, strawberry, or any preferred flavor)
  • Food coloring (optional) Add to desired shade.
  • Edible glitter For sprinkling.

Serving Materials

  • Cotton candy machine (or sugar floss maker) Recommended for the best results.
  • Cones or paper cups for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sugar Mixture

  • In a bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, corn syrup, and flavoring.
  • If using food coloring, add a few drops to achieve your desired shade. Mix thoroughly until the sugar is uniformly colored.

Spin the Fairy Floss

  • Turn on your cotton candy machine and let it warm up according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Carefully pour the prepared sugar mixture into the machine’s spinner head.
  • Use a cone or stick to catch the spun sugar as it forms, twisting it around to create fluffy strands.
  • While spinning, lightly sprinkle edible glitter onto the cotton candy for a magical touch.

Assemble the Cones

  • Once you have enough fairy floss, gently place it into a cone or paper cup.
  • Add a little more edible glitter on top for an extra sparkle.

Notes

Consider using different extracts for varied flavors. Layer different colors for a rainbow effect. Try using less sugar or substitutes for a healthier version. Match colors and flavors to your event theme.
