Tips & Warnings
Making cotton candy can be a messy affair, and having sticky floors can attract bugs. Consider cutting up a garbage bag and putting it on the floor before starting, just in case anything spills or splashes.
Avoid using a plastic spoon or a plastic bowl because plastic can melt at high temperatures.
