Sugar for Your Candy
Ready to Use Flossugar
Our ready to use Flossugar is the preferred sugar for your new cotton candy machine; however
100% pure cane or beet sugar will do just fine. Our Flossugar gives you good rich colors, and
great flavors, too. It is packed in handy half-gallon sealed cartons, with an E-Z pour spout for
filling your machine. Flossugar comes in many flavors, and you can easily change flavors for
greatest variety, and best sales.
Mix Your Own
If you want to mix your own, use our Flossine
®
, and please follow our directions. If you want a
deeper color, slightly dampen the mixed sugar. Use a tablespoon of water per five pounds of
sugar, sprinkle water over sugar, and mix well.
DO NOT USE EXCESS COLOR!
Too much color
will ruin the element on your machine and could create a bitter taste to the candy. There is a
limit as to how dark you can make cotton candy. That’s because cotton candy is 98% air, and we
cannot color the air.
Sugar Considerations
Today 99% of the sugar manufactured is extra fine granulated, which does have some small
particles which can slip thru the ribbons without being melted. If this becomes objectionable, you
can seek out medium coarse or sanding sugars. The larger crystal size will require a little more
heat to melt.
Read the label on the bag of sugar, today we see some free flowing sugars for restaurants. Free
flowing sugars contain cornstarch which will burn onto your element/band clogging them
rapidly. We have also seen some off-brand sugars that are a blend of sugar and dextrose or corn
syrup. This product makes very poor cotton candy. Please make sure you get good sugar for
your cotton candy machine.
