I also like the idea of bruschetta, any fruit wrapped in prosciutto ham is good (though that can be $$).
various types of olives as well.
If you want to buy something already made Target has this tomato basil foccacia that is so good.
Cannoli's
tiramisu (I don't know how cupcakes would work on that... might be a LOT of work but I make my tiramisu from scratch - no lady fingers)
My mom made these one time - soooo good! http://www.food.com/recipe/easy-asparagus-prosciutto-roll-up-appetizers-168817
If you need some pick-up-and-bring-with-you items, Central Market has a delicious mozzarella, tomato and basil pasta salad.
