Where can I buy Phyllo Cups?

You can find these at most large grocery stores in the freezer aisle.

Can these be made in advance?

I recommend waiting to fill the cups until just before serving as the cups will lose their crispness. But you can definitely mix up the feta-cream cheese filling in advance. You'll want to let it sit out at room temperature for a few minutes for it to soften for easier piping.

Do the cups need to be baked in the oven?

I recommend it, but you don't have to. For crisper cups, I like to bake them in the oven for about 3-5 minutes. This gives them extra golden brown edges and makes them crispier. Although you could skip this step and they'll still taste great.
