Its almost time for the new live action Beauty and the Beast movie to come out. Mark your calendars for March 17th. I know I will be the first in line because I love all things Disney and especially Beauty and the Beast. I saw this Belle Tea Cup Cupcakes recipe being sold in a VA group and I knew I had to share it with my readers. It looks easy to do. Lots of instructions but they are super simple.

I like this but I really try to avoid food coloring at all costs. Maybe I could use beet for red and yellow for saffron? Do you have any suggestions for natural food coloring alternatives?
