When you google “how to make your own fairy floss/cotton candy” you see plenty of instruction and tutorials coming up

I haven’t had fairy floss in years!!! Would love to know also.

You could always purchase one of those small fairy floss machines.

I think you need some sort of spinning mechanism. Cake decorating supply shops might be able to help you.

I don’t know how but it is a brilliant idea for a party!

The machines are relatively cheap to buy. You could always get one and have it on hand for those fairy floss cravings as well as the kids’ birthday parties?

don’t know how to make it if you don’t have the machine but maybe look at youtube

I love the make yourself ones, tastes nicer than the store bought ones

We use a fairy floss machine. I tend to use it outside or be prepared to clean any sugars that have flicked out. It’s so simple, just sugar and dry food colouring, stick or paper cone.

I saw some fairy floss machines pretty cheap in Big w the other week – not sure if they are any good but probably your best bet.

A bit tooo sugary for me but I do know you can purchase fairy floss machines and I have seen bags of fairy floss in supermarkets, so maybe purchasing a bag or two will solve the craving. Best wishes to you.

mom165081 – I have seen these machines and often wondered about the end result. Thanks for your feedback. A big machine for a party does sound good. Hope the mum in question has a good time with fairy floss!

A friend bought one for a party at home – it really didnt work very well at all – too small and ineffective, If you want one for a party – hire a proper one – I have seen this done for a kids party (parents operated it) and it worked beautifully.

Fairy Floss is such a show treat – always looks so good on sticks and in bags. It is a super occasional show treat!

You can buy a kitchen appliance that makes fairy floss. I’ve seen it in Harvey Norman. Never used one though, I haven’t had fairy floss for years
