Is candyfloss made from icing sugar?

Here's how it works:

* Sugar and water are heated together until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes a syrup.

* This syrup is then spun at high speed using a special machine called a candy floss machine.

* The centrifugal force of the spinning creates thin strands of sugar that are spun into a light and fluffy mass.

Icing sugar, on the other hand, is simply powdered sugar that has been ground very finely.
