Gold Medals and Cotton Candy

Olympic gold medalist, professional snowboarder and skateboarder Shaun White teamed up pastry chef and television personality Duff Goldman to make cotton candy snowballs onstage together on the Williams Sonoma stage.

The two are also both musicians. White plays guitar for an electronic rock band Bad Things and Goldman plays the bass guitar in a band called Foigrock. They both tossed the globes of confectionary goodness at lucky audience members.
