Originally from Food and Wine Magazine, this delectable design idea is easy to replicate. Rather than shopping at a fancy store, one can purchase the white taco holders at a hardware store like [Home Depot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-bell-at-home). Made out of crown moldings, which are usually used for home interiors, these taco stands can be cut down into small slabs ideal for taco presentation. The grooves also make building the taco a more convenient process by keeping the taco shell in place as you pile on the toppings. This clever concept works well for parties. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **DIY Food Presentation:** Foodies are creating Instagram-worthy food presentations using DIY taco stands made out of crown molding. - **Mixing Industrial and Culinary Design:** Incorporating industrial materials like crown molding into culinary design is a growing trend in the food industry. - **Convenient Food Preparation:** Taco stands made out of crown molding make building and presenting tacos easier and more convenient. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Hardware Retail:** Hardware stores like Home Depot have an opportunity to market crown moldings as DIY food presentation tools. - **Home Interiors:** Home interior companies could leverage their crown molding products by promoting their versatility as taco stands. - **Party Supply:** Taco stands made out of crown molding are a unique and convenient addition to party supplies and catering services. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collaboration Cracker Taco Shells](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ortega-cheezit-taco-shells.md) - [Taco-Holding Belt Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/venmo-taco-bellt.md) - [Limited-Edition Dessert Taco Shells](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dessert-taco-shell.md) - [Restaurant-Style At-Home Tacos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-bell-at-home.md) - [Taco Shell-Based Diamonds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diamonds-made-from-taco-shells.md) - [Hybrid Griddled Taco Recipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quesotacos.md) - [Taco-Shaped Translation Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-translation-device.md) - [Cinnamon-Dusted Taco Shells](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-el-paso-1.md) - [Narrow Modern Taco Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/santo-taco.md)
