The child loved this present for his birthday
A great gift for a party / sleepover for all to share
Perfect gift for my for his birthday a little tricky to clean when the sugar sticks to the metal
Great value for money
Good value
For the price very good my children were happy
Both flavours are very nice, it comes with pink flavours and yellow flavour
Excellent flavours with strawberry, Banana and bubblegum which adds a great variation to a cocktail where the spun sugar acts as a sweetener and a dramatic, melting garnish
Interesting flavours
