Using kitchen gloves, pull the cotton candy out of the tub gently and begin finding the ends of each piece. Gently unravel it.
Lay it out in a rectangle form and lightly press the separate pieces together along the connecting edges, but don’t squash it too much. Your rectangle should be at least 15 inches long and 7 inches wide or close to it.
In the middle of the cotton candy, put about three scoops of frosting or ice cream, each scoop about ¼ cup in size.
Top with sprinkles, candy, crushed cereal, or other sweet garnish of your choice.
Still with gloves on. Starting at one end of the rectangle, slowly roll it up into a log shape. Tuck in the sides as you go along, and tightly pack in the cotton candy as you roll so it keeps form and doesn’t fall apart.
Once rolled, cut it into slices and serve.

Feel free to use any color/flavor you like. White, red, and pink cotton candy were popular in the store when I made this. However, you can use any color cotton candy you can get your hands on. Customize it and make it match a party theme, a holiday, etc.
Use food-safe disposable gloves. Cotton candy disintegrates with moisture and handling the cotton candy with bare hands can cause it to get sticky, gross, and difficult to handle.
Get creative with the fillings. Frosting and ice cream are the most popular, but any sturdy filling will work. Sprinkles and jimmies make the dessert lots of fun!
