Sherri Kelly creates handspun sugar sculptures in the shape of layers of cakes using handpun sugar. She offers 13 flavors and can make customized creations to commemorate an upcoming birthday or anniversary.
1. Sweet Fluffy
Sweet Fluffe founder Sherri Kelly told Narcity that her company specializes in crafting Instagram-worthy cotton candy cakes. She and her team create these vibrant confections by molding cotton candy in plastic cake molds so they retain their shapes and decorate the finished desserts using flattened, hand-cut cotton candy cut in different forms such as storks, mermaids, video game characters, and corporate logos. In total, the company offers 13 flavors – lemon lime green, apple strawberry, banana watermelons pink vanilla bubblegum that allow customers to create genuinely custom orders!
Although the cakes aren’t sold in stores, they can still be ordered online and delivered across North America. Kelly claims that due to being made of cotton candy, they’re healthier than traditional cakes – with each slice containing around 100 calories, which still amounts to quite a lot if consumed on its own!
If you want to surprise someone special with an edible cotton candy cake, order online from Brooklyn-based bakery Cotton Candy Kitchen. Their cakes arrive in airtight and moisture-resistant bags, ready for party tables or just snacks at home! Not to mention, they’re gluten-free, peanut-free, and nut-free, as well as vegan!

In the Williamsburg neighborhood along the East River, Domino Sugar Factory stands as an architectural landmark. Once home to over half of America’s sugar production, its former refinery still features its iconic towering smokestack. Today, it stands as an eclectic combination of old and new: two grand brick buildings joined together by a 9,000-square-foot restaurant offering both sweet and savory American culinary classics in Parkway Bank Park Entertainment District.
At this restaurant, the menu offers a wide range of burgers, pizzas, salads, and entrees such as shrimp fajitas and pan-roasted salmon. Their deliciously sugary drinks should not be missed either, particularly their large candy-themed cocktails served in enormous goblets that transport diners back into 1920s fantasy land – including Bubba Bubba Gum, Sour Apple Lolly, and Cotton Candy Cosmopolitan, to name just three of many popular choices!

Established in 2019, this company utilizes an advanced cotton candy machine to produce a steady stream of fluffy, colorful threads. The device consists of a spinning head enclosed within a more minor “sugar reserve” bowl into which granulated sugar mixed with food coloring (or separately colored sugar) is added, heated around its perimeter by heating elements around its rim before being squeezed through tiny holes using centrifugal force into an outgoing stream. Glycerin and other flavors give this candy its smooth texture.
