Cotton Candy Floss Sugar
Best Types of Sugar for Cotton Candy
Confectioners use a wide variety of sugar and sweeteners for candy making, depending on their expectations for shelf life, sweetness, chewiness, and texture.
Granulated sugar
Confectioners can use granulated sugar to create all sorts of sweet treats, of course, but some brands of granulated sugar may be too fine or too coarse for cotton candy. A fine grain can burn slightly or create undesirable lumps in the cotton candy, for example, while sugar that is too coarse can clog the spin head or cause the machine to fling out bits of un-melted sugar.
Con AA and Con A Coarse Sugar
Con AA and Con A coarse sugar are extremely pure coarse-grain sugars that confectioners rely on to make syrups, candies, frostings, and other sweet treats. This type of confectioners’ sugar has visibly larger and more uniform particle sizes, which makes it stronger and more heat-resistant than other types of sugar.
Sanding Sugar
Bulk sanding sugar puts the final shimmering touch on baked goods. Also known as “decorating sugar,” sanding sugar is larger than coarse sugar, but smoother in texture. The large, sparkling crystals do not dissolve in heat, except when boiled.
Floss Sugar
Floss sugar is specially formulated to create the fluffiest, tastiest cotton candy. This special sugar offers limitless flavor and color combinations that really stand out. Floss sugar also has the right coarseness to provide a stable flavor and consistency, along with more fluff, better taste, and less stickiness.

Best Uses for Bulk Floss Sugar
Bulk floss sugar adds extra layers of flavor and color to just about any candy or sweet treat. Confectioners can use bulk floss sugar to crown cupcakes, donuts, or sheet cakes, make dazzling and delicious s’mores or whoopie pie, tarts, candy tacos, candy martinis, or even in ice cream dishes.
Color Options for Floss Sugar
In its earliest days, cotton candy was white. In the decades that followed, confectioners began spinning cotton candy in blue and pink, usually flavored blue raspberry and pink vanilla. Today’s consumers want a wider selection of colors, though, and this can pose a challenge for bulk producers – cotton candy is mostly air, so making dark colors is difficult.
Fortunately, Indiana Sugars can make any color bakers and confectioners desire.
