FACSlady- Lol, sorry! I misunderstood! And to answer your question, I've never really used an EXACT measurement. I use my 1 Tbsp measuring spoon and dip until they're between 1/2 and 3/4 of the way full. That's usually somewhere between 3 and 4 Tbsp.

Cupcake Scoop - Page 2

Didn't know they invented a "cupcake scoop". I actually use my 4 tbsp ice cream scoop for recipes that are thicker. I like the curved piece inside the scoop that scrapes most of the batter out. For my runnier batters, I use a 1/4 dry ingredients measuring cup. Just a personal preference. Get the same no. of cupcakes each and every time. I also tried putting batter into piping bags ...saw this somewhere on youtube but that was very messy.

I'll have my say just like the rest of you have your say - thank you very much..... last time i looked you weren't the person to tell me otherwise -

Nope, can't say i have ever felt strongly about a $1.50 icecream scoop - good grief - what fool would. lollllllllllllllllll

matthewkyrankelly, you hit the nail on the head! And to add to it, if there's a tool out there that will make my baking (and by extension, my life) easier, then I'm going to use it!!
FACSlady, 1/4c = 4 Tbsp. I think that's probably the one I'll go with. I like my cupcakes nice and rounded on top, so they're not laden with frosting.

I get mine from www.webstaurantstore.com If you buy 2 you can save on the shipping. I have what is the equivalent to a 3-1/2 TBSP. Works great on my liners that are 2" wide on the bottom.
I love using mine, and it makes wonderfully uniform cupcakes every time.

Yes, like Norpro. Vollrath also makes them. There are good restaurant supply stores that carry them for under $10. They have a number printed on the moving arm of the bowl that indicates the size. I use a number 20 for my cupcakes - a tad over 3 tablespoons.
I keep three sizes, smaller for cookies, larger for muffins. Personally, I find them handy.

Mine is #24, the 1.33 oz. all silver colored scoop, it is $6.99 at www.webstaurantstore.com
Item # is 92247155
I got 2 and have one packed away for future use. I would never use anything else, it makes perfectly domed cupcakes that go just to the top of my liners.

OP if you're interested in seeing how a #24 scoop fills a standard cupcake liner you can check out a photo comparison album I made a few months ago. I was really comparing cupcake liners but a visual might help you decide whether you want a #24 or the regular ice-cream scoop (which I believe is equivalent to a #20). I have both as some of my batters do well with different size scoops.

Wow, is this a heated discussion or what?!?
I already had a medium cookie/ice cream scoop and that is what i use. I got it from Bed, Bath, & Beyond and used my 20% off coupon. I scoop the batter and level it off with a rubber spatula. Two scoops of this fill a standard size liner perfectly for them all to be uniform. it's not a lot of work at all and they all bake up exactly the same. FWIW, i had no idea there was a such thing as a cupcake scoop. It's all about marketing for sure!!
