This Fairy Bread Smorgasbord has six different types of sprinkles on toast! A fun a colorful breakfast to satisfy your sweet-tooth. Perfect for a birthday breakfast, or for any morning you need a colorful pick me up.

I count down to my birthday every year, because in our household, the birthday person unabashedly plays the “birthday day!” card. The birthday person doesn’t have to do anything, and can make whatever requests they want for food. No need to take the dog for a walk, no need to feed the baby, no need to even put used dishes in the sink. Lucky for me, it was my birthday this week.

Jonathan had dinner and dessert covered (a perfectly grilled ribeye steak and chocolate mocha cupcakes), but we had a miscommunication of sorts about breakfast. I (rightly) assumed he was making it – it was my birthday day after all! And he (rightly or wrongly) figured I would be making it since I’m the breakfast person in the household and I’m picky about my morning meal.

We ended up with nothing on the table that morning! So of course I needed to throw something together quickly. Birthday breakfasts call for sprinkles, so with everything we had in the flat that morning, here it is – a Fairy Bread Smorgasbord of sprinkles on toast!

Fairy Bread Smorgasbord – Sprinkles on Toast

To the well traveled, sprinkles on toast might not be such a big deal. In Australia, sprinkles on toast, known as fairy bread, is made by simply spreading margarine on white sandwich bread and adding on rainbow sprinkles. The Dutch version of sprinkles on toast is called hagelslag, and is most commonly chocolate sprinkles on toast.

I started my fairy bread smorgasbord with a classic slice of rainbow sprinkles on toast, but that didn’t seem to satisfy. So I pulled out the next jar of sprinkles, and put that on my toast too. After that, I decided I needed to also add on a chocolate option. Out came my trusty jar of chocolate hazelnut spread… and the chocolate sprinkles.

Before I knew it, I had created 6 different sprinkles on toast for my Fairy Bread Smorgasbord!

This Fairy Bread Smorgasbord of sprinkles on toast has a few different flavor combinations so there’s something for everyone. For a simple sweet, the classic fairy bread of hundreds and thousands or jimmies on buttered toast are sure to please. If you like a richer taste, opt for the sprinkles on caramel sauce.

To the chocolate lovers out there, the chocolate sprinkles on a chocolate and hazelnut spread won’t let you down. And for those who like a fruity sweet, try the freeze dried raspberries on a caramel spread. The beauty of this breakfast smorgasbord of sprinkles on toast is that you can literally use any sprinkle on your toast, so don’t be limited to these combinations.

I’m hoping that by sharing this very simple birthday breakfast idea, no one will have to ever wake up to a birthday without a birthday breakfast. This Fairy Bread Smorgasbord of sprinkles on toast is so easy to make that there shouldn’t ever be an excuse for you, your partner, your roommate, or even your kid to not make it for your birthday.

Recipe Notes

My preference is to not toast the bread for this recipe. I like the contrast between the chewiness of the white bread and the crunch in the sprinkles. It is a personal preference, so you may find that you prefer a toasted slice of bread. 

*To make this smorgasbord vegan, use a dairy-free margarine, a free-from chocolate hazelnut spread, and a vegan caramel sauce. Make sure you use vegan-friendly sprinkles too.
