"Our focus is to change the way you perceive cotton candy."
Once upon a time… Jason Angeles (co-founder) was watching the movie Shrek. As Shrek and Fiona were walking through a field, Fiona sees cob webs laced with bugs. She grabs a stick and weaves it into a cotton candy like dessert for Shrek. That's when Jason had his "ah-ha moment". He wondered why cotton candy doesn’t have ingredients weaved in.
Fast forward to 2013, Jason reached out to Justin Isip and Nathaniel Villegas to co-found Sugar & Spun in June 2013.
Gone are the days of boring and overly sweet blue or pink cotton candy. Our new standard includes flavors like Salted Chocolate Peanut Butter, Li Hing Pineapple, Spicy Mango, Cookie Butter, and Chocolate Hazelnut Banana just to name a few.
Now you are able to purchase our cotton candy directly through this website or through any store locations listed below.
