Sleepovers, high metabolisms, the belief that anything is possible — kids have all the fun.

Get a taste of the good times once again with Pashmak Persian Fairy Floss. Spun from sesame and sugar, the candyfloss for grown-ups comes in sophisticated flavours including saffron, rose, orange blossom and pistachio. The melt-in-your-mouth fairground treats are just as you remember — colourful, sticky and delicious.

Delight dinner guests when you serve it as palate changer or a whimsical complement to ice cream, fruit or cake. (Blumenthal, eat your heart out.)

It’s not cheap, so use it sparingly.

A sugar-induced tantrum wouldn’t be fun for anyone.
