# Artistic Cheese Guns The 'Fondoodler' Turns a Cheese Stick into a Work of Malleable Art By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-11-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-stick References: [odditymall](http://odditymall.com/fondoodler-draw-with-cheese) & [fondoodler](https://fondoodler.com/) The 'Fondoodler' allows advanced or amateur chefs to turn a cheese stick into a soft, glue-like material that can be used for creating delicious works of food art. Drawing inspiration from the [hot glue gun](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grilling-cheese-1), the 'Fondoodler' works by having a stick of cheese inserted into the warming chamber. When depressed, the 'Fondoodler' will allow warm cheese to be spread on whatever a person desires to create cheesy food artwork or simply provide precision dollops of cheese. The 'Fondoodler' can be used with a variety of different cheese sticks ranging from [mozzarella](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flavored-mozzarella-sticks), to cheddar and is great for customizing snacks for children or even building masterful structures using [cheese as the mortar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fonduuuuuuefork). It helps enhance the creative possibilities in the kitchen for those looking for ways to mix up their favorite foods and recipes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/kitchen) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Cheese Art:** Opportunity exists to develop new tools and techniques for creating food art with cheese, offering unique presentation and culinary experiences. - **Food Crafting:** Developing innovative utensils, ingredients, and tools to create intricate food designs will enable food crafting businesses to expand their offerings and attract more customers. - **Food Personalization:** Creating personalized snack experiences with customizable cheese designs can be a unique selling point for snack brands looking to attract younger generations. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Restaurant Industry:** Incorporating cheese art into menu items can attract customers interested in novel and visually pleasing culinary experiences, which can ultimately increase restaurant revenue. - **Snack Industry:** Developing similar cheese tools and spreadable products can help snack brands appeal to younger and design-savvy audiences, providing an edge in a crowded market. - **Kitchen Supplies Industry:** Innovative kitchen tools for cheese art and food crafting can help kitchen supply companies offer unique and functional products that can attract foodies or those seeking new meal options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [At-Home Fondue Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/melting-pot-at-home.md) - [Sausage-Shaped Grillable Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesedog.md) - [Cheesy Snack Kitchen Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheetos-duster-1.md) - [Microwaveable Fondue Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microwaveable-fondue-cup.md) - [Artisan Cheese Fondues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parmigiano-reggiano-fondue.md) - [Culinary Snack Product Grinders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheetos-duster.md) - [Dual-Cheese Snack Sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheddarella-string-cheese.md) - [Artisan Cheese Bake Fondues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-bake-fondues.md) - [Cheese-Shaped Charcuterie Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cheese-block-with-knife.md)
