COTTON CANDY

Cotton candy dates back to the late 1890s to 1900. One of its earliest appearances was at the Paris Exposition of 1900.

Cotton candy is a fluffy, cotton-like confection made from colored spun sugar using a special machine which winds the sugar threads around a cardboard cone.  Early machines were hand cranked, but now high speed electric machines are used. Also called spun sugar.
