Suggestions please!

So, I've mentioned my clay miniatures before. These are the miniature foods I make out of sculpy, with the scale being such that a "large" four layer cake will sit on a plate about the size of a quarter. Well, now I'm working on creating a rather large stash, with a good variety of clay miniatures and devil/satyr horns, with plans to see about getting a table at the artist's alley at Genericon with a friend.
The thing is, that on top of just plain miniatures, I've started making them into earrings and necklaces. And I need suggestions.

As examples, some of what I've made or have plans to make so far:
Cupcakes:
Dangly earrings and necklaces.
Sushi platters:
Dangly earrings and necklaces (this is one of the wood rectangular platters, with the proper feet, with a set of two nigiri, 4-6 pieces of a sushi roll, wasabi and pickled ginger included)
Onigiri:
Stud earrings, and possibly dangly earrings and necklaces
Slices of cake:
Probably dangly earrings and necklaces
Miso soup and Sake:
This would be a set of dangly earrings where one is a bowl of miso soup and the other is the sake bottle with a little sake cup, also available as sets of soup or sets of sake
Possibilities I'm still trying to figure out if they will work:
pieces of pie, certain types of cookies, napoleons.

So, yeah. I need more ideas, especially for stud earrings. So, help? Please?
Suggestions that I like and manage to make work will probably result in receiving a version of your idea made into a necklace, dangly earrings, or stud earrings (your choice) as thanks!

Many of these might be made into barrettes, cufflinks, or brooches/pins as well. I think cupcake cufflinks would be awesome.

But might I suggest wasabi bean studs? How about moon pies? Dim Sum style bean paste buns? (trying to keep with the themes of the foods you've already got.)

I had intended to do knitting placeholders, and have been thinking about barrettes, I hadn't thought of cufflinks. I like the idea.
As for Wasabi beans, I think those would be too small and not distinctive enough. I'll totally have to look at pics of the other two to see.

I think I might be able to make dim sum work really well. Once I figure out for a fact, if it works, I'll get back to you.

Please tell me you mean actual moon pie-sandwich cake thing.

Though moon cakes (either round kind that are white with red dot on top or yellow stamped kind) would be tasty, and OMG I can see a line of black and white cookie things selling well.

moon pies would not really work, and black and white cookie things I'm not sure how to actually make work....gonna have to look into moon cakes...

I think that badge pins are good.

A friend of mine has the habit of wearing asymmetrical earrings. She has a blue bird she likes to wear in one ear and two studs in the other. I thought the studs were the "eggs" because they were the right blue. Maybe you can do something with this concept
