Supplies for Cotton Candy Machines

Keep your cotton candy machine supply cabinet stocked

Now that you've made an investment in a cotton candy making machine, you need to keep a full stock of cotton candy supplies on hand to keep your business running.

The list for cotton candy vending machine supplies isn't long, once it's complete, but a few decisions need to be made before placing orders.

1. Used cotton candy machines may come stocked with some supplies, but they may not be suitable for your business.

2. New wholesale cotton candy machines will generally come with a start-up inventory, but know what you are getting to avoid running out too soon.

3. Your plan for selling cotton candy should include the main delivery method of cones, containers with lids, or floss bags.

 

Consider a cotton candy maker start-up package to get you going

If you are just starting out with your professional cotton candy machine, you might want to consider purchasing a starter package that will introduce you to the basics that you need. Once you know the supplies used the most, you can make better decisions on purchasing.
Try: The starter package offered by Cotton Candy Express equips you for producing 60-80 servings per hour in various flavors. Their package includes the machine, but you can use the checklist to determine the quantities and amounts of products. Check out the cotton candy starter kits through find.com.

Know the supplies you need in order to keep your cotton candy business moving forward

Every owner operates their business a little differently, so your supply list will be a little different than anyone else's. For instance, you may want to serve cotton candy in containers instead of on cones or in bags. Personal preference and business needs will dictate the supplies.
Try: You can find cotton candy plastic containers, bags, cones, and even display cases through Joey's Fun Food. Columbia Jobbing carries many supplies for cotton candy machines.

Offer a variety of cotton candy flavors to appeal to a larger audience

Everyone likes choices and there are several flavors and colors of cotton candy which you can have on hand. Whether you are supplying a cotton candy shop, or just want to keep people coming back to your stand to try new flavors, it will pay to shop around and know your options.
Try: To really be unique, consider the organic candy floss flavors from Pure Fun for your cotton candy business. CottonCandyExpress.com is a great resource for cotton candy floss sugar if you need to purchase in large quantities.

 

• In order to alleviate the worry of running out of your cotton candy supply, start out by ordering twice as much as what you think you'll use, and then re-order when half of it is gone.
