Increase Profits While Making Cotton Candy


How to Increase your Profits while making Cotton Candy! Making Cotton Candy is very easy with cotton candy machines. Many folks find it intimidating the first time they try to use a floss machine. There are just a few simple rules to follow.
  1. Fill the spinner head of the cotton candy machine while it is turned off.
  2. Wear eye protection.

  3. There is no wrong way to make cotton candy; however, some methods are more profitable than others.

  4. Below are the steps to putting the least amount of sugar on a cone while presenting it as a large value. Remember, cotton candy is fun and profitable. Don’t give away profits.

  5. Most people think the correct way to make cotton candy in a cotton candy machine is to wind it on to the floss cones as the sugar is coming out of the machine. This method does work but you end up putting far more sugar on the cone. Follow the step listed below and increase your profits.


Pick a cotton candy cone; if it sticks in the stack of cones, twist it off the stack. Hold an inch or two of the pointed end of the cone between two fingers and a thumb. With a light flicking action, roll cone in the web of sugar floss building up in the pan. Lift the cone up with the ring of floss attached and rotate the cone to wrap the floss. DO NOT roll floss while the cone is inside the pan. This will pack the floss too tightly.

If the floss fails to stick to the cone, pass the cone near the spinner head to pick up a “starter” of melted sugar. Lift the cone out of the pan and wrap the floss with a “figure eight” movement of the hand. This leaves giant pockets and makes the final product appear larger. Make sure room humidity is not too high, or product will be “heavy”.
  • DO NOT put hands or objects in rotating spinner head.

  • Do not fill spinner head with sugar while it is rotating.

  • Operator should wear eye protection.

  • Do not put hands near rotating spinner head.

  • Use floss cone to collect cotton candy.
