A Sweet Scene at Ellen's Silkscreening (Photos)

A film crew on Thursday turned the popular silkscreen shop into a cupcake place.

The crew spent hours in the near 100-degree weather, keeping the cupcakes chilled until the last minute. That's when one crew member climbed into a cupcake suit and squatted next to the bright red Volkwagen Beetle, holding the confection for an actress sipping her protein shake.
