The Secrets to Keeping Cotton Candy Fresh and Fluffy

My daughters are in the thick of Science Fair Season.  And I love science fair season.  I did some pretty darn kick-ass science fair projects on the antibacterial properties of common hardy Ohio woodland plants in my day.  My parents are both scientists.  And so as my children explore the scientific method, I found myself nostalgic, and decided to do my own experiment.  I wanted to know the best way to keep cotton candy fresh and fluffy for the longest time for parties.
