Graduation season
Cotton candy for graduation parties
Open houses, backyard grad parties and senior nights. People drop in all afternoon, and the cart keeps up the whole time.
Made for open houses
A grad open house isn't a sit-down dinner. Neighbors, teammates, ward members and old teachers all wander through over three or four hours, say congrats, grab something sweet and head out. You want food that holds up all afternoon and doesn't need anyone babysitting it.
That's the cart. Each cotton candy is spun fresh in about 75 seconds, our attendants run the whole thing, and the machine gives the younger guests something to watch while the adults talk.
Local tips by county: Salt Lake County grad parties, Utah County grad parties, Davis County grad parties and Weber County grad parties.

Planning tips
Plan for the rush
Most guests show up in the first hour. Tell us how many you've invited and we'll make sure the line moves.
Teaming up with friends?
Plenty of families throw a joint open house. One cart can cover both, at the same package price.
Driveway or garage
Both work. We need a standard outlet within 25 feet. If bad weather is expected, we bring a tent.
Go with school colors
We can set the cart's lights to your school's colors. See flavors.
