Thanks

In reply to A.. Hi A! I actually got it at Homesense of all places. I rarely see it in stores, maybe specialty candy stores. I'm not sure where you're located but have you checked Amazon?

I was wondering where you purchased the cotton candy for the top of the cake? I’m having a hard time fiding it in these pretty colors. Thanks!

I couldn’t decide what kind of cake to bake my niece for her 6th birthday. So, I decided to ask her! Immediately she said, “A cotton candy cake.” I told her that I may not be able to do that and to choose a backup just in case. Well, I came home and looked into cotton candy cakes and found this recipe! I decided to follow it exactly and had such amazing results. I have a couple of photos I’d like to share, just not sure where to post them. What a perfect recipe. I did double the recipe and use 2 8 inch round pans. I ordered the cotton candy flavoring and colors off Amazon. To be honest, my husband and I were skeptical. So we ended up making a back up vanilla cake with chocolate frosting (the famous King Arthur birthday cake recipe). Everyone was so surprised by the Cotton Candy Cake though. It wasn’t too sweet. It was light and brought back wonderful memories. My niece helped us make the cake and what a memory made. She even decorated the outside and was so proud of our work. Thank you so much for this recipe and the inspiration. Let me know if you want the photos 🙂

Hi Agnes! Converting pan sizes is always tricky. Here are some sites I use as a guideline:

I would not replace the sugar with the sugar floss as it will be hard to know how much to use.
