Common Questions About Wholesale Cotton Candy Supplies
Do I need cotton candy bags?
Cotton candy bags enable the operator to spin up servings of cotton candy in preparation for customers instead of making each one to order, because without bags, your candy would be vulnerable to airborne debris or pests while waiting to be purchased. Colorful cotton candy may function as a vibrant advertisement to hungry customers, but without bags, the display might also attract pests, which are not nearly as appealing.
Should I get pre-mixed or concentrate cotton candy flavors?
While pre-mixed cotton candy starter does not need added sugar, concentrate provides flavor and color but needs coarse granulated sugar. Buying concentrate and adding your own sugar is more cost effective than using pre-mixed starter, but it takes more time and adds an extra step to the process. Consider your budget, how much time you'll have to prepare the candy, and which flavors you want before making a decision.
How do I use cotton candy concentrate?
Each brand of cotton candy concentrate will differ in its exact instructions, so you should always follow the instructions given for your product. However, we'll offer some general rules of thumb here. One to two tablespoons of concentrate can be mixed with ten pounds of coarse (or large) granulated sugar. The exact ratio will determine how strong the flavor is as well as how deep the color looks. For some products, you can add a tablespoon of water for every five pounds of granulated sugar before mixing it with the concentrate to deepen the color, but you should never use more than that. If the sugar is too wet, the cotton candy will not form properly.
Do I need cotton candy cones?
Cotton candy cones are an easy way to dispense the fluffy treat to your eager customers. Cones give your customers a way to hold their snack without getting their hands sticky with sugar. They also contribute to the traditional feel of a cotton candy stand, contrasting the fluffy appearance of the candy with a slender handle that accentuates the airiness of the treat.
Do I need a cotton candy cart?
A cart gives your operation mobility and a traditional appeal, though it isn't necessary to produce cotton candy. Consider a cotton candy cart if you will be moving around frequently or will only be selling cotton candy intermittently. At a fair or amusement park, a cotton candy cart advertises your business and gives you room to craft and sell your cotton candy. A cart also gives you room to store all of your cotton candy supplies, such as bags and cones.
