Cook the bacon and sausage or reheat them if already prepared. Heat the mini pancakes according to the package directions.

Arrange the mini bagels at the top of a large platter, slightly overlapping them.

Place the mini croissants along the bottom of the platter, also slightly overlapping.

Set the bowls of jelly and cream cheese in the center of the board, positioning one toward the top right and the other toward the bottom left.

Arrange three sausage patties above the croissants on the left side, meeting the jelly bowl. Place the remaining sausage patties under the bagels on the right side, meeting the cream cheese bowl.

Arrange the strawberries to the left of the bagels so they meet the cream cheese bowl.

Place the syrup jar under the strawberries and above the sausage patties.

Arrange a line of mini pancakes on the far left side of the board, next to the strawberries and syrup.

Move one strawberry aside and stand the bacon slices upright in the open space between the strawberries, bowls, and syrup jar.

Place the mini muffins above the croissants, all the way along the right edge of the platter.

Fill in all remaining gaps with blueberries until the board looks full and balanced.
