Cotton Candy


You feel like going to the amusement park with your family and friends due to your condition you end up craving for cotton candy.

I remember buying cotton candy when you're a kid even if it is very sweet as a kid you love the taste when you eat it slowly disappearing in your mouth.



The color available is pink and blue.

I was able to purchase my cotton candy from House of Bethany Online Shop Shopee Philippines for PHP 100.00 ($2.00) for a 57g. tub.

Enjoying cotton candy in your home is another way to look back in your childhood memories.

Those living outside of the Philippines you can purchase your Parade Cotton Candy in Amazon.
