Filling Cups with Batter

For a consistent cupcake size, fill cups 1/2 to 2/3 full. The best way we've found to add the batter is to squeeze it into the cup using a decorating bag. Other good ways to fill - use an ice cream scoop, a large spoon or a measuring cup.

Option 1: Decorating Bag

The best way we've found to add the batter is to squeeze it into the cup using a decorating bag. Just fill the bag about halfway with batter, and squeeze perfect portions into your cups. Using a bag will give you better control, especially when making mini cupcakes. The bag keeps batter from spilling over the cavities.
