The Cotton Corral-Mobile Snack Cart

03/04/2026

We’ve been quiet… but that doesn’t mean we stopped. 🍭🥤

Life shifted. An unexpected injury at my full-time job slowed things down more than I planned. Running a licensed mobile catering business solo while navigating real life transitions stretched me in ways I didn’t expect.

Let’s just say… your girl learned to move a little quieter. Lessons were learned this past season.

The Cotton Corral offers full mobile catering and serves:
🍭 Fresh-spun cotton candy
🍋 Fresh-squeezed lemonade
🥤 Dirty sodas — handcrafted, customizable, and here to stay

We’re fully licensed and equipped to bring the sweetness wherever the party is.

Our updated menus (including our dirty soda lineup) are getting a full refresh as part of our rebrand — and I can’t wait to share what’s coming. ✨✨

I fully plan on honoring all previously booked events 🗓️, which will keep me plenty busy while I rethink, rebuild, and step into this next chapter. 👏

Please be patient with me as I continue rebuilding behind the scenes. I learned a lot this past season, and I’m genuinely excited for what’s ahead. ☁️

Same sweetness. Stronger backbone.
We’re still here — just building smarter. 💛

The Cotton Corral update ✨

We’ve been a little quieter on here lately. Life has been full of some big changes behind the scenes. We bought a house, and we’re deep into planning an expansion for the cart — possibly moving into a small trailer setup. (Looking at full blown custom builds or buying new/used, etc.)

Winter is our time to brainstorm, sketch ideas, and work through conversions with my executive partner.

Even with the slower pace online, we’re still here, still spinning cotton candy, pouring dirty sodas, still squeezing fresh lemonade, and still booking private events. We’ve just pulled back from public-facing events while we get settled and build out what’s next for The Cotton Corral. ✨

Thank you for sticking with us while we grow into this new chapter. More sweet updates coming soon.

Had an absolute blast celebrating Albert’s 1st birthday at the Children's Discovery Museum in Kelso Longview, WA! 🎉 Cotton candy, hopscotch, adorable pups from Cowlitz Dog 4-H, and so many amazing community vendors made it such a fun day. Our sugar security officer Bane was on duty, keeping the sweetness in check, as always. 🐾🍭

One organization I want to especially highlight is Fosterful, a nonprofit helping foster kids stay in their placements and find stability. Their mission really hits close to home for me, since I spent time in the foster system as a baby before being adopted. Meeting their passionate team reminded me why community events like this are so important — you never know what resources or connections might help a family or child. 🧡💜

Even though we’re based in Snohomish County, I love sharing these resources because people travel, move, and might need to know what’s out there. 💛

Our first video ever, keeping it playful with hopscotch and cotton candy vibes. Here’s to many more sweet moments ahead. 🍬🍭

🦉🎉 We’re so excited to celebrate Owlbert the Owl’s 1st Birthday at the Children's Discovery Museum in Kelso Longview, WA 🎉🦉

The Cotton Corral is honored to be part of this special celebration at such an amazing nonprofit that brings so much joy and hands-on learning to families in our community. Being invited to join this milestone means the world to our little startup, and we’re truly grateful.

🍭 Our custom candy cart, and will have fresh-spun cotton candy with fun topping options (super interactive and customizable!)

✨ Take-home tubs of cotton candy

🍋 Fresh-squeezed lemonades with a special self-serve station for little ones, encouraging independence and playfulness

✨ A chalk corner with the sign “Draw what makes you happy” so kids can decorate the space and share their creativity with us

🚙This is the furthest we’ve traveled from our home base so far — but we know the connections, smiles, and community are worth every mile.

We can’t wait to celebrate Owlbert with you🍋🍬🥳🦉✨

Swipe through to see the progress on my very first balloon bouquet 🎈
My sister and I built this together, and honestly, it was such a fun (and frustrating 😅) creative project. If you’ve ever built one of these, you know how time-consuming and patience-testing they can be. I wasn’t sure I had the patience, but I surprised myself and actually enjoyed the process!

It’s not perfect — I can see little gaps — but that’s the beauty of learning. Each one will get better from here, and I’m excited to start offering balloon bouquets as an add-on option with my cart services. (Transporting this was a major pain! 🥲)

Here’s to trying new things, being creative, and sharing the ups and downs along the way ✨

🎉 Yesterday we had the sweetest time celebrating Avah’s birthday! 🎂💖

Her grandma put together such a thoughtful celebration and invited The Cotton Corral to be part of it. We built a diabetic-friendly menu completely catered to the birthday girl ✨

🍨 The kids made their own parfaits - with all kinds of healthy and unhealthfully options (with a little help from me at the serving station)
🥤 Plus, they had their very own self-serve drink bar — because kids love being independent!
• Sugar-free Italian sodas
• Zero-sugar fruit punch
And let’s just say the refill station was a hit 😉

It was so special to be included in Avah’s big day — thank you for letting us bring a little extra sweetness to your celebration. 💕 More photos coming soon!

Happy Birthday, Avah! 🥳

The Cotton Corral got to make Avah’s birthday extra sweet today 🎉💖

We put together a custom diabetic-friendly menu just for her big day:
🍨 Build-your-own parfaits
🥤 A self-serve drink station with sugar-free Italian sodas + zero-sugar fruit punch
🍭 Cotton candy tubs to top it off!

It was so fun watching the kids serve themselves, refill their drinks, and create their own treats. Huge thanks to Avah’s grandma for letting my little startup be part of such a special celebration 🥰

Happy Birthday, Avah! ✨
