Spin the Cotton Candy
Once the machine is heated and the sugar is added, start the machine. Use the sugar cone or paper cone to collect the spun sugar. Move the cone in a circular motion around the center of the machine to gather the cotton candy as it forms. Continue to spin until you achieve the desired amount.
