For Christmas my children bought me a Princess Silver Cotton Candy (a candy floss maker). I'm sure however this was more for their benefit than mine.

CONTENTS:

Rotating disc
Bowl (approx 13" diameter)
Base
Measuring spoon
Candyfloss sticks

HOW TO USE:

Before you can start to use the Candy floss maker you have to assemble it, this is relatively easy and comes with full instructions. You have to place the bowl on top of the base which has suction cups as feet so as to keep the unit steady when working, then insert the rotating disc onto the axle and hey presto your ready to make candy floss

Once plugged into the wall you have to allow the machine to warm up for 5 minutes, once done you need to switch off the machine again whilst you add the sugar, normal granulated sugar can be used but you can also use coloured sugars if you want to vary the colour of candy floss you get. Fill the measuring spoon with your sugar and then tip it into the hole in the middle of the rotating disc, switch the machine back on and the disc will start to rotate as it warms up the sugar, after a few moments you will start to see a web forming around the bowl this is when you get busy with the sticks, it can be quiet tricky at first as you have to twirl the sticks around the bowl collecting the candy floss. Once you have got the hang of it however it is pretty simple and soon you have a stick full of lovely white candy floss.

CLEANING:

This is very simple, switch off the machine and allow to cool down, once cool simple remove the rotating disc and bowl and wash in warm soppy water, the base can simply be wiped over if needed.

COST:

Varies from place to place, mine was bought from Debenhams at £39.99

CONCLUSION:

With just one spoon of sugar you can make a stick of candyfloss, you are left with the sweet aroma of candy floss in the air, like being a kid again walking round and old fair ground. I intend to use it when I have kids parties, but maybe try it with coloured sugar and make bags of candy floss rather than just the sticks. It tastes like the real deal, which infact it is, very sweet and melts instantly in your mouth. The machine packs away in its box very easily but is quiet bulky so having somewhere to store it could be a problem in a small kitchen
