Reddit user King Pimp Commander captured the [foam design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunkin-cold-foam-creamer) work of a barista from Scotland that severed [warm beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banana-cream-drinks) with a side interesting phallic latte art.

When most people order a latte from a cafe they expect to see latte art in the form of flowers, symbols and even famous faces. King Pimp Commander was surprised when he ordered a beverage and it was handed to him with a realistic drawing of the male genitalia made entirely from foam. The realistic design is rather unusual, and slightly comical, but nonetheless oddly placed overtop of a beverage someone is about to drink.
