One of those "toy" cotton candy machines!
I have been wanting one for cake decorating.

We don't use ours often, but enjoy it when we do.

There is a couple things I want to try.
Cake pops.
And tops for cupcakes.

I just bought one for my teen. She asked for it for her birthday. It will make cotton candy out of hard candies (in addition to the sugar mixes).

I just ordered one for MIL for her birthday. My kids are visiting her so they'll have fun playing with it together i think. Thanks for the idea.

The cake pop turned out really cute!
But it melted way to fast for what I wanted to use it for.

I always wanted one and never got one because it seemed like a silly thing to spend money on. Then at one point years later, my wheeler dealer DH found someone selling off the contents of their concessions trailer and he bought me a full sized commercial one!  We used it for sidewalk sales when he had his store, street festivals, etc. I have it in my basement. We haven't fired it up in a long time, but I expect once the PTA at DD's school figures out that we have one they'll bug us to use it.  |

Yeah, that may not work the way you think it will! I found that out the hard way. I made some cupcakes for a friend's birthday once and spent a small fortune on a bag of pashmak (Persian fairy floss - a grown up version of cotton candy)..which cost about $14 for a small bag. I iced the cupcakes and put a generous/dramatic swirl of pashmak in each one. They looked stunning. I carefully packed them into my cupcake carrier and when I got to the party I took the lid off...and there was not a single strand left, just a few pink water spots on the frosting  In less than an hour the it had completely dissolved. If I ever do that again, I've now learnt that you can't decorate with it in advance, you need to put it on literally a few minutes before serving them because any moisture from the cake or the frosting will just melt it. |

I am thinking that a cup cake liner might work.

Do you use cotton candy fluff as is or am I missing something? I was hoping I could swill it around cake pops( with a candy coating). It is very cute but melts to fast. So I might try cutting "leaves" out of cupcake liners and using the fluff as puffy flower or cloud. |
