Oh, they are just TOO CUTE! I've seen these made with sweets, but not with the eggs.

Excellent! With the frozen puff pastries and the mini phyllo cups, you can let your imagination go wild! I usually make a puff pastry circle, then a small one on the inside, hollow it out a bit, and fill with homemade chicken salad. IMHO, there is no such thing as decent store-bought chicken salad!
Also, mini-meatballs on skewers, with or without dipping sauces (the easiest sweet/sour is grape jelly & chili sauce), stuffed mushroom caps, and of course, the finger sandwiches. Try to find a bakery which will make tinted bread, and order Pullman loaves. Egg salad looks great on blue bread, ham salad looks good on white bread, and cream cheese or cucumbers look good on pink bread, for example. Lightly butter the bread before spreading the filling, then be sure to put a well wrung out tea towel on top to keep them fresh.
And if you're lookiing for an occasion, use the Kentucky Derby! Everyone wears hats, and all you have to add are the mint juleps!
