# Galactic Latte Art A Japanese Barista Recreates Doctor Who's Face With Colorful Latte Foam By M | Published 2014-09-20 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-latte-foam References: [thatsnerdalicious](http://www.thatsnerdalicious.com/beverages/i-drink-eleventh-doctor-lattes-now-theyre-cool/) & [twitter](https://twitter.com/JohnCFarrier/status/512218890022420480) One of the baristas from a Japanese eatery called Belcorno created this beautiful portrait of Doctor Who from colorful latte foam. The image has a such a lifelike resemblance to the actor that plays the 11th Doctor, Matt Smith, that it's hard to believe this drawing was made entirely from milky foam and edible food coloring. Latte art is a great way for cafes to offer their guests a delicious beverage with an artistic aesthetic. Belcorno is known for creating beautiful latte foam portraits of [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agatha-all-along-latte) characters and various celebrities and this Doctor Who portrait does not disappoint. The milk portrait is done entirely using steamed foam and then topped with edible color to add detail to Smith's charming face and TARDIS time-traveling phone booth located at the back of the illustration. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Latte Art:** Leverage latte art to enhance the aesthetic appeal of cafe beverages. - **Edible Art:** Explore the use of edible color to create visually stunning food art. - **Celebrity Portraits:** Offer customers unique experiences by creating latte foam portraits of popular celebrities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Cafes:** Cafes can incorporate latte art to attract customers and offer an elevated beverage experience. - **Food Art:** Explore the use of edible color in culinary art to create visually appealing and interactive experiences for customers. - **Events and Entertainment:** Events and entertainment venues can feature live latte art demonstrations with celebrity portraits to engage attendees. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Smart Milk Frothers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreo-baristamaker.md) - [Barista-Approved Coffee Milks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cornish-barista-milk.md) - [Pop-Up Art Gallery Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saatchi-flowers-signature-cappuccino.md) - [Sci-Fi Show Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yusuke-hanai-1.md) - [Barista-Quality Frother Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delonghi.md) - [Sensorial Tea Lattes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pique-moco-bouquet-tea-latte.md) - [Sitcom-Themed Coffee Beans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lukes-diner-blend.md) - [Banana-Based Foam Lattes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banana-cloud-latte.md) - [Eight-in-One Milk Frothing Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreo-baristamaker-air.md)
