Steps for Making Cotton Candy If you’re wondering how to make cotton candy, follow the six easy steps below. These can be used with our pre-mixed floss. 1, Load the floss (cotton candy mix) into the center, which is known as the floss head or spinning head, of your cotton candy machine. Never put your hand or other objects near the floss head while it’s running. 2. As the floss mix heats up, it begins to liquefy. The fast-spinning floss head forces the liquid out to the sides of the bowl. This is when the floss begins to form its characteristic cotton-like consistency. 3. Reduce heat as the floss begins to flow out of the spinning head. 4. When the amount of floss produced begins to slow, add more cotton candy mix into the machine. 5. Once enough cotton candy has gathered, use a cone to twirl it out of the machine. If you’re having trouble with this step, apply a small amount of water to the cone for the cotton candy to stick to. 6. To rid the machine of the rest of the cotton candy, simply run the machine and let the sugar burn itself out.
