The Experience

No. This is a live cotton candy art experience, and each character is made individually. We create approximately 25–30 character cotton candies per hour, per team.
How many cotton candies can you make per hour?
Approximately 25–30 character cotton candies per hour, per team. For larger events, ask about adding a second team to increase output.
Is the cotton candy made fresh at the event?
Yes. Our cotton candy is made live on-site, giving guests both a sweet treat and an interactive experience to watch and enjoy.
Can we choose the characters?
Yes. Our Standard package includes 7 character designs and our Premium package includes 12 character designs. Character options may vary based on event type, theme, and availability.
What flavors do you offer?
Standard flavors are Blue Raspberry, Banana, Watermelon, and Birthday Cake. Premium packages add Orange and Sassy Apple.
What’s the difference between Standard and Premium?
Standard includes 7 character designs and 4 flavors. Premium (an additional $50) includes 12 character designs and adds Orange & Sassy Apple — more variety and a bigger, more colorful spread.

Setup & Space

How much space do you need?
We require approximately a 5x5 space for our setup.
Do you need access to electricity?
Yes. We require access to a dedicated electrical outlet. For outdoor events or locations without easy access to power, we may have the option to bring our own generator.
How early do you arrive to set up?
We typically arrive 15–30 minutes before the event to set up.
Do you work indoor and outdoor events?
Yes, both — as long as we have the required space, setup conditions, and access to electricity (or generator access if needed).
What happens if our event is outdoors?
We’ll need a flat setup area. A shaded or covered area is preferred, especially during hot or windy weather. If power isn’t easily available, we may have the option to bring our own generator.
Do you offer more than one team?
Yes. For larger events you can add a second team$650 for the first hour and $200 for each additional hour — doubling the serving capacity.

Pricing, Deposit & Booking

How does pricing work?
$380 for the first hour and $100 for each additional pre-booked hour, serving approximately 25–30 character candies per hour, per team.
Can we add additional time during the event?
Additional time may be available the day of the event, depending on availability. If approved, same-day extensions are $125 per additional hour. Pre-booked additional hours are $100 per additional hour.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes. A 20% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your event date, with the remaining balance due the day of the event.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule my event?
The deposit is non-refundable. However, depending on availability, we may apply it toward another date and time.
How do I book?
Book online through our Book Now page — choose your date, time, duration, and Standard or Premium — then pay the 20% deposit to hold your date.
How far in advance should we book?
We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for weekends, holidays, school events, and large celebrations.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept major credit and debit cards securely online when you book, and we also accept cash, Zelle, and Cash App.

Customization & Extras

Do you offer custom themes?
We welcome custom and personalized character requests. While we review every request and do our best to accommodate, we can’t guarantee that every custom design can be created — approval depends on the complexity of the design, the available materials, and the time required to make it.
Can you match our event colors or theme?
Yes. We can help tailor characters, flavors, signage, and presentation to complement your event.
Do you offer custom banners?
Yes. We offer hand-painted craft-paper banners for $50 and custom printed banners for $75.
Can we take cotton candy home?
Yes. Cotton Candy Clouds are 32 oz. tubs, freshly made in small batches, in seven flavors — $5 each — a perfect take-home treat.

Events & Service Area

What types of events do you service?
We’re perfect for birthdays, quinceañeras, school events, corporate events, employee appreciation events, festivals, holiday parties, and private celebrations.
Do you offer fundraisers?
We currently offer fundraising opportunities for school events only. Every fundraiser is different — contact us directly and we’ll build a plan for your school.
Do you travel outside El Paso?
Travel outside the El Paso area may be available upon request and may include an additional travel fee.
Can I pre-order cotton candy for pickup?
