Celebrate Beauty and the Beast with Belle’s Teacup Cupcakes

I can’t believe that a movie that was animated is now a real life with real actors in it will be released this weekend. Beauty and the Beast has always been one of my favorite movies. In fact, just recently I was remembering this movie during one of Gracie’s quinceañera dance practices.

So here is a new way to celebrate the release. Make these Belle Teacup Cupcakes.
