'Lola's Cloud' is an organic candy floss pop-up at Toronto's Yorkville Mall that features adventurous flavors like 'Jalapeno Cotton Candy.'
According to Savel, the jalapeno cotton candy has "hints of hot pepper on the tip of the tongue and then a sweet aftertaste, it’s one flavor that’ll be hard to forget." For Canada's 150th birthday, Lola's Cloud made a limited run of 150 maple syrup-flavored cotton candy tubs.
What began as a small, one-woman-show has grown to be a profitable cotton candy start-up. Run by Janelle Savel, Lola's Cloud began by appearances at special events and its fabulous flavors garnered it a reputation as a cotton candy tour-de-force. All of the flavors are made from organic cane sugar and are colored with natural dyes.
