How long since you last taste a cotton candy? I just ate one last night. Who say cotton candy can only enjoy it at fairground and circus. You can now have it at the cosy place of your house. The cotton candy I had from Kathrina (Free2Fly) is so tasty even my sister son was asking for more. It's so delicious and one thing I'm comfortable with is the packaging, unlike traditional cotton candy wrap in plastic bag, it come with a conveniece plastic container (air tight). According to Kathrina, this kind of packaging has long been sold at overseas such as USA, UK and Australia. It's NOW selling in Malaysia and its last for 2 months after manufacturing date.
I can say that cotton candy is amazing and why? Because have you ever wonder how to produce cotton candy? Yup, you can't produce cotton candy without a cotton candy machine. If you would like to know how they make cotton candy, see it at howstuffworks.
If you go through howstuffworks, you may find how easy it was to make a cotton candy with proper equipment, but you wouldn't want to make one because to get cotton candy equipment is very expensive, later on I will introduce you where you can get cotton candy delivers to your doorstep with reasonable price.
As you were know that cotton candy is popular because it fascinates people when producing it (watch the youtube below). The attraction is because of the coloring, which often comes with mixture of color or single color of pink (strawberry), purple (Grape), green (apple), orange (orange) and blue (blueberry). The most popular color is pink cotton candy.
People impression towards cotton candy always refers to sugar, and it's bad for teeth. But compare cotton candy against a bottle of soft drinks. Cotton candy is far lesser sugar than a can of most soft drinks out there. Also, cotton candy is not a high in food energy because of the less amount of sugar.
