Hi, I’m Kasia Franka – founder of King Floss, one of the UK’s first candyfloss art brands in the UK
We were one of the first companies in the UK to introduce candyfloss art, starting in March 2022. But my story with candyfloss started much earlier.
I actually began spinning candyfloss as a child. From the age of 8, I was helping my parents in their catering business in Poland, where I was already learning how to make and serve candyfloss.
Years later, I started King Floss from my own kitchen in Bradford -with no experience in business, no investors, and no clear plan. Just an idea and the determination to make it work.
Everything I built came from real events, real customers, and learning by doing.
Today, King Floss has grown into a recognised brand across the UK:
• 65+ original candyfloss designs
• 400+ festivals and events completed
• Entering our 5th season in the industry
• Long-term contract with Lightwater Valley Theme Park (3+ years)
• Featured at major events like Winter Funland in Birmingham
• Collaborations with brands such as Hamleys in London
• Worked on promotional campaigns, including Care Bears activation with Wicked
• Permanent locations and pop-ups in shopping centres
• Served tens of thousands of customers
• A team of up to 18 staff during peak season
We have also traded at some of the UK’s biggest festivals, including:
• In It Together Festival
• Together Again Festival
• Yorkshire Dales Food & Drink Festivals
• Deva Fest
• Multiple major food and drink festivals across the UK
This guide is built entirely on real experience, not theory. Everything you’ll learn comes from what actually works in the real world.
If you’re starting from zero, this is exactly what I wish I had when I began.
