Using a round cookie cutter (approximately 6 cm in diameter), cut circles out of the white sandwich bread slices. You should end up with 16 bread rounds.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Finely chop half of the smoked salmon and half of the cooked shrimp. Fold the chopped seafood into the cream cheese mixture along with half of the fresh dill.
To assemble, spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture onto one bread circle. Place another bread circle on top, and spread another layer of the mixture. Repeat to create stacks of three layers, with the top layer covered in cream cheese mixture. Repeat for all the stacks.
Thinly slice the cucumber, radishes, and lemon into delicate rounds. Reserve for decoration.
Decorate each mini sandwich cake with the remaining smoked salmon, cooked shrimp, cucumber slices, radish slices, and a sprig of fresh dill. Add a small lemon slice or twist for an elegant touch.
Serve the Små Tårtor immediately or refrigerate them for up to 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
