Cream puffs or little lemon tarts. Yummy slices. Just a few suggestions.

for my dads wake i made a huge pile of sweet pastry cases done in mini muffin tins and filled them with a choc ganache, lemon or passionfruit curd (some topped with meringe) caramel, cremem pastise and fruit on top. zappi has a good idea withh cream puffs/choc eclairs, you could make some choc dishes (melt choc drop onto some gladwrap and put over the back of a small glass) and fill with mousse). or go retro tiny lamingtons, jelly oranges and fruit skewers

Truffles

2 packets of Tim Tams
250g cream cheese

whizz altogether, chill in the freezer for 15 mins as the mixture is very runny, then roll into bite size balls, roll in coconut or chocolate hail and freeze.

Warning ~ seriously moreish! ! !

a tip i learned that if you do sweet pastry cases paint melted chocolate on the inside, it creates a seal and the filling won't soak the pastry and make it soggy.

I make neenish tarts in mini muffin tins...

Also use the same pastry cases, and put lemon curd in them.

Neenish tarts last a few days (3-4) made up.
Lemon tarts need to be eaten the same day.

what about mini mousse cakes. if you get small piping (3cm diameter) and cut it into about 5cm tall sections, line it with acetate then make a brownie base and fill with mousse, freeze to set and then they only take 15 min to defrost
