    I finally figured out what to do when I had to make hundreds of cup cakes for my daughter's wedding. Use a scoop. I just went and bought some different sizes and figured out which one worked. Mine is a red handle and says no. 24 Here is a link talking about using a certain brand name.

    I used this little video.

    Thanks for all the help everyone. Annaquilts, I really appreciate that video, it makes it really easy to see how an ice cream scoop works well for this task.

    Ice cream or cookie scoop, depending on the size. If its a regular size cupcake pan, then the ice cream scoop works but if its mini muffins then there are different sizes of cookie scoops that works great.

    All of these ideas work. I have also transferred the batter to a large measuring cup with a spout. Made a batch of cupcakes the other day but used banana bread. DH loves it. BUT I don't use the papers or tins. I use flatbottom ice cream cones. You eat the whole thing. No paper to throw away!

    I use an ice cream scoop, too. It also makes them all the same size with this method.

    I also use an ice cream scoop. Different sized ones for smaller or larger muffins. Always keep a large cup of hot water to dip used scoop into, batter slides right out, no mess.

    I use a cookie scoop - the size that looks as though it would dispel the proper amount.

    Maybe pour the batter into a pitcher then use thee pitcher to pour your batter into the muffin cups.
