Cotton candy, also known as candy floss, is a form of spun sugar. [11] Typical machines used to make cotton candy include a spinning head enclosing a small bowl into which granulated sugar is poured. [11] Colored sugar [12] or separate sugar and food coloring are used to provide color.

The flaps are kneaded and spread thinly and evenly before being placed directly onto the letters; these form the space between the casing and letters, and are then wrapped around the stiffened centre.
