Wow! Almost a shame to drink it. ...almost : )
Came across this site featuring some latte art that you might want to check out (if you haven't already).

tonx says:

don't sweat it jo_cey. I just saw the pic show up in the everyones photos section and wondered what was up.

Bob is very excited that people are digging on this. I will post some of his other latte tricks in the future.

I'm speechless. I didn't know people spent their time creating coffee swirly milk...i'm sincerely stunned. impressed in the same way I am at those contortionist teenage girls... but wonder how they figured out they could do that.

wow.

How much of that was free pour and how much etching?
Posted 60 months ago. ( permalink )

tonx says:

the eyes/mouth are etched with chocolate dragged on the end of a spoon. The really cool thing is how ridiculously fast Bob can bust this out.
