Cotton candy is pure sugar. To make sugar turn to cotton, you need four things:
- • Heat to melt the sugar and turn it into a liquid
• A set of very small holes for the liquid sugar to flow through and form threads
• A spinning head that forces the liquid sugar through the holes
• A bowl to catch the threads

1. When completing operation for the day (or any prolonged period), run all the sugar out of the floss head. When empty, turn the heat to highest position for approximately one minute to "clean" the band by baking off remaining sugar. Never put water in the floss head.
2. Lift the bowl and bubble off of the machine. Tighten both knobs on the sides of the machine. Wipe down the pink part of the machine and put the machine in a place where it will not get wet.
3. Spray off the inside of the bowl with a garden hose until clean. Make sure that there is no sugar left on the bowl or netting.
4. Use hot water and a soft cloth to clean ALL the sugar off of the bubble. Be careful not to scratch the bubble.
5. Put the bubble back in its plastic bag, and put the bowl and bubble back in the boxes they came in.
The History of Cotton Candy
Venice was importing sugar from India by the 13th century. By the 15th century, Italian aristocrats were creating sugar sculptures for their tables. Spun sugar was popular during the Renaissance. It was made by dipping a fork in and out of molten sugar and allowing the sugary threads to solidify in the air. An American patented a similar process in 1900. He used a rotating plate and threaded the sugar through a fork. He's credited with introducing his candy treat to the Ringling Brothers Circus. 
About the same time, two Nashville candy makers invented an electric machine that melted sugar and spun it through tiny holes. They called their candy, Fairy Floss. Fairy Floss made its debut in 1904 at the St. Louis World's Fair. It was a huge success. The inventors sold over 68,500 boxes for a quarter a piece—a lot of money at the time: the cost of admission was only 50 cents! The 1920s saw Fairy Floss morph into Cotton Candy and become a staple at carnivals.
