  • - Hey, guys, it's Inga.

  • I'm back at it again.

  • Today, I'm actually going to make

  • a giant cotton candy flower,

  • which was also something I saw on the streets of China.

  • It's exactly as you would imagine.

  • It's just layers and layers of cotton candy

  • until it builds up into this huge candy flower.

  • As you guys know, I am not the best at this,

  • but I do give it my best shot.

  • Let's go.

  • So, we have the cotton candy machine, the sugar scooper,

  • and we also have different colored cotton candy sugar.

  • Start the machine, and you're gonna let it warm up.

  • I don't really have a lot of experience making cotton candy.

  • I think I've only made it once before.

  • (bubbles popping)

  • Also in China, because they use skewers instead of cones,

  • I'm also going to be using this.

  • I'm just gonna do a warmup.

  • Actually, this is a bit hard to scoop.

  • (laughing)

  • (upbeat music)

  • Okay, that's much prettier.

  • I'm just gonna test this first one.

  • (screaming)

  • I'm terrified.

  • This is your normal cotton candy.

  • Now, I need to do a not normal one.

  • The ultimate goal is huge.

  • That's why it's hard.

  • 15 layers, let's try this.

  • You just have to spin really fast.

  • Holy moly, is this normal?

  • Oh, I forgot to put water on the stick.

  • It's falling off.

  • No, no, no, no.

  • I'm getting cotton candy everywhere.

  • I'm gonna do this again.

  • (chuckles) It all went on my hand.

  • How much is there?

  • This is...

  • What is going on right now?

  • I actually don't know how I'm gonna be able to do this.

  • Oh my stress, oh my stress, you see?

  • Let's try that again.

  • (upbeat music)

  • How did he do this?

  • So, you kind of just fold.

  • You just need to make it look like a flower.

  • Does this look like a flower?

  • (gasps)

  • Continue.

  • You fold it up like that.

  • As long as it looks like it has five or six petals.

  • (chuckles)

  • I have to make like 15 layers of this.

  • This is getting a bit much.

  • Okay, so now I fold it again.

  • I need a...

  • Oh, it looks so good on camera.

  • We're going the right thing.

  • The key is to spin really fast.

  • (laughs) That's it.

  • So, we're gonna fold it again.

  • I feel like it's about to fall off,

  • but that just means we need to keep on going.

  • It's too big.

  • (laughing)

  • I feel like

  • you're beginning to not be able to see the layers.

  • It looks...

  • I'm gonna keep on going.

  • This is like a panic attack every time.

  • I'm aiming for 15.

  • We have one, two, three, four, five.

  • Six down, nine more to go.

  • Here we go.

  • Oh, this one smells like funky grape.

  • (laughing)

  • Help!

  • Help!

  • Tissue.

  • Okay, this one's a little gross,

  • but we're gonna keep on going.

  • Oh my God, I have cotton candy all the way up to my elbow.

  • My hand has become part of the stick.

  • So far we have eight, this is the eighth layer.

  • I feel like it's beginning to melt.

  • I'm just going to start speed doing this.

  • I feel like I have candy all over my face.

  • 10.

  • It's starting to look like a giant dumpling.

  • Five more.

  • Oh my God, I'm getting delusional.

  • I don't go lifting enough to do this.

  • I am...

  • Holy moly.

  • It's starting to get a little too big to handle.

  • I think we're pretty much there.

  • Should I do one more?

  • That is not the spirit.

  • Can you see my face?

  • Woo!

  • Why am I doing that?

  • Why, why, nope, stop, okay.

  • One more layer to wrap it up.

  • It's gonna be huge.

  • 15th.

  • It's done.

  • It's already started to blend together.

  • At least I got to this point.

  • - Yum!

  • - These people who do it in China, they're super precise,

  • they're super detailed.

  • I'm pretty proud, and I will see y'all next time.

  • I have a lot of sugar to go through.

  • (upbeat music)

- Hey, guys, it's Inga.
