How to Style a Serving Tray
Start with the tray and drape a kitchen towel or placemat over it.
This helps things not slide around, and it's pretty. Moms like pretty!
Next, I layered the Faux Wood Charger, White Marble Plate, and White Melamine Salad Plate for the main breakfast meal.
I also added chopped fruit into the Small Marble Bowl.
The silverware. Oh guys! This silverware makes me super happy. It's this beautiful rosy gold/copper color!
After setting your tray, serve the food and bring it into the sleeping mom's room.
Final Thoughts
I actually ate this meal, since I had to photograph it.
I'll be honest, I'm not a huge fan of baked eggs in an avocado. I really thought I was going to love it.
Avocados are my thing, and topping them off with bacon seemed like a total win!
I wasn't a fan of the texture of the baked avocado, but hey, you might love it! Make sure whatever you make, you KNOW your mom will love it!!
