The youngest of the Middleton children, James, has a business that's booming: Turning Instagram photos into edible treats.

The Duchess of Cambridge's brother, according to CNBC, owns 45% of a company called Boomf. Boomf prints photos onto marshmallows. Think of it as the new, cooler version of putting photos on grocery store sheet cakes.

Boomf launched in 2013. Andy Bell, the CEO, told CNBC that the "interest from both individual consumers and large corporations" has been wild and overwhelming.

For $26, you can transfer 9 Instagram images to 4cmx4cm marshmallows and they'll be delivered to your doorstep.

First, you connect to Instagram. Boomf gives you some tips:
