Looks to me like it’s a thin coat of wax on top that makes the designs and made to look like it’s coffee.

Scott, it’s not a thin coat of wax or anything fake. It’s actually there. It’s made out of the foam a good coffee produces (called the creme) and various other ingredients (like syrups, or the coffee itself) to make darker areas appear.
Many professional baristas can do this, and it’s pretty impressive. There’s a cafe in Vancouver BC called cafe Artigiano that does stuff like this.
An experienced bartender can also do similar things with the foam of a glass of beer.

I know some of the guys in Raleigh, NC at Cup-a-Joe’s do this for fun…

There’s a cafe in the art gallery here that prides itself on getting creative with the latte foam. The coffee is the dark and the steamed milk is the light and how you dip the spigot in makes the main design, then with picks and rakes and additional things like chocolate syrup and crumbles and more raking one can make the more complicated designs.
It’s quite impressive.

Nice, but bet you the taste isn’t as good as Megan makes at Coffee Minded Southbank Melbourne Melbourne — just sumptuous and with a lovely smile
