- Con: Requires precise measurement for consistency, so don't just eyeball it.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
Salcombe Sweets & Treats, a popular kiosk on the Devon coast, upgraded from a generic pre-mixed sugar to Gold Medal Flossine. They wanted to improve the authenticity of their candy floss to stand out during the busy tourist season.
"We noticed the difference on day one. The smell carried down the street and people were drawn in. The colour was brighter, the flavour was better, and we didn't have to clean the machine's spinner head nearly as often."
Robert Evans – Owner
The switch resulted in a 30% rise in candy floss sales over the summer period, with many customers commenting it was 'proper funfair floss'.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting the Mix Right
- Start with dry, free-flowing granulated sugar. Avoid sugar that has clumped from moisture.
- Use one to two level tablespoons of Flossine per 4.5kg of sugar.
- For best results, mix in a large, sealed container. Shake vigorously for a few minutes until the colour is uniform.
- Let the mix settle for a few hours to allow the flavour to fully incorporate before using.
Keeping It Fresh
- Always store Flossine in its tightly sealed tub in a cool, dry place.
- Keep it away from sources of moisture or high humidity to prevent the powder from clumping.
- Label your mixed sugar with the flavour and date to keep your stock organised.
- The concentrate has a very long shelf life when stored correctly, ensuring it's ready when you are.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much Flossine do I use per batch of sugar?
A: The recommended ratio is one to two level tablespoons of Flossine for every 4.5kg (10 lbs) of regular granulated sugar.
Q: Will this work in any candy floss machine?
A: Yes, Gold Medal Flossine is designed to be compatible with all professional and commercial candy floss machines.
Q: Can I mix different Flossine flavours?
A: You can, but it's best to do so in small test batches to ensure you get a taste and colour you're happy with before making a large quantity.
Q: What is the shelf life of this product?
A: When stored in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed, Flossine has a very long shelf life, often lasting for several years.
Q: Is this product suitable for vegetarians or vegans?
A: Flossine contains no animal products and is generally considered suitable for both vegetarians and vegans.
Q: How does this differ from using standard food colouring?
A: Flossine is a micro-powdered concentrate designed to bind to sugar and melt cleanly. Liquid food colourings contain water and other ingredients that can burn and clog the machine's spinner head.
Q: Does the colour stain hands or clothes?
A: As a potent colouring agent, it can stain. It's best to handle the powder carefully. Once spun into candy floss, the risk of staining is minimal.
Q: Does it affect the texture of the candy floss?
A: No, when mixed correctly it does not change the light, fluffy texture. It's designed to produce the ideal candy floss consistency.

Explore more from Gold MedalWhy a Non-Clogging Concentrate Matters
Ever wondered what 'non-clogging' actually means for your machine? Think of your candy floss maker's spinner head like a delicate sieve. Flossine is a fine, dry powder specifically engineered to melt and vaporise cleanly with the sugar. It passes through the sieve's tiny holes effortlessly, creating perfect floss.
Using improper colourings or flavourings, like liquid food dye, is like trying to force wet sand through that same sieve. They contain moisture and ingredients that don't vaporise properly. Instead, they burn, caramelise, and build up into a hard, carbonised residue. This blocks the holes, puts immense strain on the motor, and can permanently damage the heating elements – meaning costly repairs and frustrating downtime. Gold Medal's Flossine sugar flavouring for cotton candy ensures your machine runs smoothly, shift after shift.
