Technicolor Latte Art

These Edible Foam Designs are Rendered More Vivid Using Food Coloring

— April 20, 2016 — Lifestyle
Mason Salisbury is a talented latte artist that is expanding the edible art form to incorporate colorful foam designs with vibrant bright stencils done using food dye. The use of color in the latte art adds a new dimension by turning the foam into miniature edible paintings.

Salisbury is based out of Las Vegas that opts for food coloring to create designs rather than espresso. The illustrations are rendered much more dimensional since the color palette expands beyond shades of cream, white and brown to incorporate vibrant hues such as red, blue, yellow and orange. The milk is pre-infused with the colors that is then added to white foam to create elegant drawings of leaves. The increased use of color forces the barista to work faster with the foam to create a temporal work of art.
Trend Themes
1. Vibrant Latte Art - Opportunity for cafes to offer a unique sensory experience and charge a premium for novelty foam creations done using food coloring.
2. Edible Art Form Expansion - Opportunity for food artists to incorporate new and unusual techniques into food styling to create interactive and playful culinary experiences.
3. Innovative Use of Food Coloring - Opportunity for companies specializing in food coloring and dyes to explore new application areas and market to the creative food industry.
Industry Implications
1. Cafes and Coffee Shops - Upsell opportunity by using food coloring to create unique, vibrant and Instagram-worthy foam creations for customers looking for an aesthetic and sensory experience.
2. Food Styling and Event Catering - Incorporate this trending technique into food styling to create fun and interactive edible designs, particularly for corporate events and other special occasions.
3. Food Coloring Companies - Explore new market opportunities in the food industry and educate on innovative uses for food coloring in new and unusual applications.
