Win over $100 of gourmet fairy floss



Why you can't buy passionfruit flavoured fairy floss?

This is the question that started  artist Genevieve Loxley on three years of experiments which resulted in  Spun Fairy Floss and over 100 flavours of natural fairy floss, with more on the way.

Genevieve wonders about a lot of things. One of them was why you cannot buy passionfruit flavoured fairy floss. Another was why you can’t buy natural fairy floss. Once Genevieve latches onto an idea she researches it for days, weeks and months until she knows everything there is to know about it.

Her dream of spinning natural fairy floss in amazing flavours began in 2008 but with no money and no experience in making fairy floss, the idea was put on the back-burner.

In 2011 the dream was revived and to dip their toes into the magical world of fairy floss, Genevieve and husband Paul purchased a second-hand bench-top fairy floss maker on ebay for $60. After taking 30 frustrating minutes to produce a very small amount of floss, the decision was made to purchase a commercial grade fairy floss machine at a cost of several thousand dollars.

In no time they were set to go with all the equipment and ingredients, but being a great believers in crawling before you walk, Genevieve and Paul started at a few markets and charity events around the Sunshine Coast. The fairy floss, both classic and natural ranges, was very well received.
