This summer my grandma came to visit and she fired up our cotton candy machine. All we had to do was pour sugar into the middle of it and wait till these fluffy whispy threads came out. You had to be quick or sometimes it would get too hot and the machine would overheat. We used a chopstick to catch the threads and whirled it around the machine until we got a nice sized ball of cotton candy to stick to it. It was fun and yummy! Here are some pictures from that day.
