Step 1
Serve fun and nostalgic food that the birthday kid ate as a child. Cocoa Puffs, Count Chocula or Captain Crunch are great foods that we remember as kids. Ask family members what he or she liked as a kid. Perhaps there was a special way to make eggs, like using a round glass to cut a hole in the middle of toast and placing an egg in the hole.

Step 2
Use fun or nostalgic plates, dishes and cups. For example, if your birthday guy or gal is an Elvis fan, serve a peanut butter and banana sandwich on an Elvis plate.

Step 3
Add fun and whimsical touches to the birthday breakfast tray. Try a "themed" breakfast tray; decorate the tray according to the interests of the birthday guy or gal. For example, a dancer's themed breakfast tray might include using a tutu as a placemat and a disco ball or rotating ballet dancer for decoration. A fisherman's birthday breakfast tray might include a fishnet as a placemat and new lures as decoration with a new bobber placed in a glass of juice.

Step 4
Include a birthday card and a small gift on the birthday breakfast tray. Tie balloons to your wrist as you carry the tray then tie the balloons to the headboard of the bed for a festive look during breakfast.

Step 5
Sing "Happy Birthday" as you enter the room with the birthday breakfast tray, no matter how awful you sing, the sound will bring a smile to their face and start the day off right.
