A cupcake for movie buffs, and we wish we were at the beach cupcakes

These movie and beach cupcakes are by Toronto, Ontario cupcake bakery Short & Sweet Cupcakes, via their Facebook page. I love when people get creative with a theme and truly create cupcake art, and they totally have (hi gold dragees!). It's been cold and rainy in New York so the beach cupcakes made me wish I were on a warm beach. You can also follow them @shortandsweetTO on Twitter.
