When ever we have out of town visitors, whether it’s for a long weekend, the holidays or a special celebration, I always make a little something they can help themselves to if they get hungry.

Coffee cakes, quick breads and muffins are all great choices for a light breakfast with coffee or tea. Plus they can double as dessert too. 

In addition to offering my guests delicious baked goods, I like to offer interesting beverages. Caramel coffee is always a hit as is this pumpkin spice caramel mocha. It’s fun to surprise people with coffee shop quality beverages and pastries.

How to make a breakfast spread

When I have family and friends over for brunch, whether it’s impromptu or around the holidays, I like to offer some sweet baked goods on the buffet, along with the fun brunch beverages.

When I set up a breakfast spread I like to have my chafing dishes after my sweet breads. No reason really, other than my preferance. I use baskets lined with pretty linens for mini or regular size muffins. For quick breads I like to slice part of the loaf and arrange the uncut and slices on a cutting board or other tray like serving platter.

My line-up goes something like this:

  • Plates, silverware, napkins
  • Baskets of mini and regular sized muffins
  • Slices of quick breads and coffee cakes
  • Baskets of breads for toasting like bagles, wheat bread, croissants
  • Gourmet butters for the muffins, coffee cakes, and breads like cranberry butter or whipped pumpkin spice honey butter
  • Chafing dishes with sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, waffles, diner-style potatoes and maybe a breakfast casserole
  • A variety of juices in pitchers and maybe a prosecco to make mimosas
  • Coffee pots with regular, decaf and hot water for tea and cocoa
