Cotton candy, also called candy floss or fairy floss, is spun sugar. It is usually dyed pink but is naturally white.
Cotton candy is made by spinning hot, melted sugar into fine threads, and then gathering the threads onto a stick. It has the texture of soft wool or cotton when it is fresh, but gets rougher as it absorbs moisture from the air.
