I saw a picture of a spider in cob webs--all edible. I would like to make the cob webs. On the food network challenge, one contestant used a mini cotton candy maker. I don't have one. Anyone know of a simple, easy, extremely inexpensive way of making realistic, edible cob webs?

sorry i am not sure exactly you would have to google it( not sure if there is info on here) anyway its a sugar /water combo you heat to a certain temp. and then kind of fling it over a rod with a fork to make long strands. or you could let it cool a little and "pull" it in to strands - just a thought but i have never done it
