Kd 16 Cotton Candy

[Stayla Casillas]

Itis made by heating and liquefying sugar, and spinning it centrifugally through minute holes, causing it to rapidly cool and re-solidify into fine strands.[2] It is often sold at fairs, circuses, carnivals, and festivals, served in a plastic bag, on a stick, or on a paper cone.[3][4][5]

Several sources track the origin of cotton candy to a form of spun sugar found in Europe in the 19th century. At that time, spun sugar was an expensive, labor-intensive endeavor and was not generally available to the average person.[8] Others suggest versions of spun sugar originated in Italy as early as the 15th century.[9]

Machine-spun cotton candy was invented in 1897 by dentist William Morrison and confectioner John C. Wharton, and first introduced to a wide audience at the 1904 World's Fair as Fairy Floss[10] with great success, selling 68,655 boxes at 25 ($8.48 today) per box.[citation needed] On September 6, 1905, Albert D. Robinson of Lynn, Massachusetts submitted his patent for an electric candy-spinning machine, a combination of an electronic starter and motor-driven rotatable bowl that maintained heating efficiently. By May 1907, he transferred the rights to the General Electric Company of New York. His patent remains today as the basic cotton candy machine.[11]

Joseph Lascaux, a dentist from New Orleans, Louisiana, invented a similar cotton candy machine in 1921. His patent named the sweet confection "cotton candy", eventually overtaking the name "fairy floss", although it retains this name in Australia.[13][14] In the 1970s, an automatic cotton candy machine was created which made the product and packaged it, making it easier to produce at carnivals, stalls and other events requiring more portable production.

Typical machines used to make cotton candy include a spinning head enclosing a small "sugar reserve" bowl into which a charge of granulated, colored sugar (or separate sugar and food coloring) is poured. Heaters near the rim of the head melt the sugar, which is squeezed out through tiny holes by centrifugal force. Colored sugar packaged specially for the process is milled with melting characteristics and a crystal size optimized for the head and heated holes; granulated sugar used in baking contains fine crystals which spin out unmelted, while rock sugar crystals are too large to properly contact the heater, slowing the production of cotton candy.

The molten sugar solidifies in the air and is caught in a larger bowl which totally surrounds the spinning head. Left to operate for a period, the cotton-like product builds up on the inside walls of the larger bowl, at which point machine operators twirl a stick or cone around the rim of the large catching bowl, gathering the sugar strands into portions which are served on stick or cone, or in plastic bags. As the sugar reserve bowl empties, the operator recharges it with more feedstock. The product is sensitive to humidity, and in humid summer locales, the process can be messy and sticky.

Typically, once spun, cotton candy is only marketed by color. Absent a clear name other than "blue", the distinctive taste of the blue raspberry flavor mix has gone on to become a compound flavor that some other foods (gum, ice cream, rock candy, fluoride toothpaste) occasionally borrow ("cotton-candy flavored ice cream") to invoke the nostalgia of cotton candy. The sale of blue cotton candy at fairgrounds in the 1950s is one of the first documented instances of blue-raspberry flavoring in America.[20] Pink bubble gum went through a similar transition from specific branded product to a generic flavor that transcended the original confection, and "bubble gum flavor" often shows up in the same product categories as "cotton candy flavor".[citation needed]

In 1978, the first automated machine was used for the production of cotton candy. Since then, many variants have appeared, ranging in size from counter-top to party- and carnival-size. Modern machines for commercial use can hold up to 3 pounds (1.4 kg) of sugar, have storage for extra flavors, and have bowls that spin at 3,450 revolutions per minute.[21]

In February 2024, state of Tamil Nadu in India and Union of Puducherry implemented a ban after lab tests confirmed the presence of a cancer-causing substance, Rhodamine-B, in samples sent for testing.[22] Andhra Pradesh reportedly started testing samples of the candy while food safety officials in Delhi were pushing for a ban.[23][24]

Seriously, I am not picking up on any floral notes at all. Maybe the white musk is one of the varieties that goes somewhat incense-y on me, or maybe it's due to one of the floral notes (I'm not getting champaca, though)? On my first test, I thought maybe lemony frankinecnse, but on my second test, I swear I got a hint of red patchouli that was lending that incense-y vibe.

Either way, it is not a flormand on me. I was hoping for the blue cotton candy from Thrills and Junk Food that I love, backed by florals. I weep as I send my bottle off to swaps. (On a positive note, the white musk doesn't turn this into soap?)

I hadn't experienced BPAL's cotton candy note before this, but I haven't really cared for other companies'. However, I generally like BPAL's sugar notes, and the Blue Unicorn Moon was so much fun, I thought I'd give this a try.

Not for me, unfortunately. I think I have smelled this cotton candy note in other brands I didn't care for, but it doesn't really smell like cotton candy to me. (Probably why I don't like it.). I also get a vague whiff of the blue raspberry-type, candy note in some other bpal offerings. This might be what Doomsday Disco is reading as lemony, because it has that citric acid candy vibe. Think kool aid, pixie stix, or sour punch straws. I also get some "moon musk:" the typical white/bluish musk in the lunar blends.

Blue cotton candy moon is not the super sweet candy scent I was expecting. It is more grown up and lunar. I find that the cotton candy note lingers more towards the edges of the scent rather than front and centre. I get alot of the lunar, bluish musk that @VetchVesper described. I also get the blue cotton candy note ... there's times when I'm sure that this could have a little bit of blueberry hidden away in there. The cotton candy is not in your face or overly sweet. I think it adds a sugary softness to the musk. I can pick out a vague floral note as well but I couldn't pick out any individual floral notes I'm familiar with. I find that there is a perfumey base to this scent which must be the floral note.

This reads as a blueberry floral to me. I don't get a blue cotton candy or blue raspberry scent, but it's an airy scent. It feels more cool spring night to me. And the florals remind me of the mallowflower trio. If you like light white floral scents I would give this a try because it's not as candied as you might think.

Update: I retested this after letting it sit awhile, and it has to have blueberry in there. I am convinced it's not just blue raspberry...but rather the actual fruit with spun sugar flowers. This is literally wild the way it morphs all over the place.

5. Take a handful of the fiberfill and form it into a cotton candy pouf. You will use this for your headpiece. Hot glue the pouf to a headband and also glue the cone you just made onto the top of the pouf. Secure the headpiece on your head with bobby pins if necessary.

This is adorable. It seems like great mines all think alike. I have a rainbow cotton candy costume planned to go up on my site this week. But I'm also collaborating with another blogger to do a baby version and I'm making a dog version too. We'll all be cotton candy this year! Lol.

Take your guests on a nostalgic journey with the sweet aroma and taste of cotton candy. Sweetistry Cotton Candy and Event Treats provides an on-site Sweetologist to spin fresh and fluffy cotton candy in a variety of colors and flavors from our custom cotton candy cart.

Combine everything in a pan, and over medium heat bring the mixture to a boil. Wait for it to reach 268F, then take off heat. Allow the candy to cool to 212 degrees in the pan, and pour into a lightly greased plastic container (a round one is best). Once the candy mixture is room temperature, pull it out of the container (we used a butter knife to help pry it).

Generously coat a baking sheet with cornstarch and roll the candy in the cornstarch and rub off the excess. With your thumbs and forefingers, burrow a hole into the center of the candy. Using gentle pressure, enlarge the circle. Keep the candy a uniform thickness around the rope. When the rope becomes long, twist it into a figure eight and bring the two halves together. Stretch it to double in length, then turn into a figure eight again. Repeat this process until you create super super thin strands.
