Not in my opinion. I like to tuck things like olives into the points of the
crown shape. When I make things like taco salads, they do look fancy. If
you had just a bowl shape, I think it would lead to a big, sloppy mess.
Besides... I already bought the molds. They were super cheap. And I
intended to use them.
