Our Story

BORN ON THE coast

Sweet Air started with a basic machine, a bag of sugar, and a dream to bring the most rad cotton candy experience to every corner of SoCal.

HOW IT ALL STARTED

It was the summer of 2020. A family, a Carlsbad sunset, and a cotton candy machine that barely kept up. That was the beginning of Sweet Air.

What started as a weekend hustle at the Carlsbad Strawberry Fields turned into SoCal's most sought-after cotton candy experience. We've spun sugar at birthday bashes, corporate shindigs, and beach parties from San Diego to the bay area.

We're not a catering company. We're not a food truck. We're a vibe. We show up, we set up, and we spin the freshest cotton candy you've ever tasted — in colors that match your event, with energy that matches the SoCal sun.
