We Want Candy! Martha Stone

Over 600 years ago cotton candy's name was spun sugar. It was a favorite sweet treat for people of all ages at fairs, carnivals and the circus. Today, cotton candy is available in lots of different flavors including mint, raspberry, vanilla, watermelon, and cinnamon. Each year, the United States celebrates National Cotton Candy Day on December 7th. The event is a salute to cotton candy, candy floss, and fairy floss. We Want Candy! Joins in the fairy floss fun with 40 recipes using cotton candy for baking, as a garnish, and even as a cocktail ingredient. In fact, there are sweet snacks and tasty treats to create all year round. We have Candy Cane Xmas Cotton that is sweet enough even for Santa, a cute Easter Bunny Cottontail Cake, adorable Baby Shower Cookie Cakes and an amazing Bubblegum Birthday Bomb. And what's more, if you don't want to buy store bought cotton candy we have even included a homemade cotton candy recipe. Whether you cook it in a pan, buy it in a store or spin up a batch in a cotton candy machine it's time to enjoy spun sugar!
