Latte art is everywhere. But this 17-year-old has taken it to the next level with her 3D works of art that are genuinely rather impressive.
Daphne Tan, a student in Singapore who goes by the moniker Periperipeng, began her journey with 3D latte art in December 2016 when she attended a workshop on gourmet coffee appreciation. Since then, she’s garnered quite the following on social media with her creations, which cover everything from cartoon characters and animals to food and holiday celebrations.
Using natural food coloring and a mix of carob powder with water to draw and color the foam, Tan delves into each piece of work for about 10 to 20 minutes before she unveils the final product.
But if you’re wondering how to get your hands on these cool cups of edible art for the ‘gram, well, you can’t. Tan’s disclaimer on her Instagram page notes that she doesn’t own a cafe — instead, latte art is a hobby of hers. Nevertheless, she’s made appearances at a couple of coffee events across town over the last year, so keep tabs on her Facebook page for updates.
