What size scoop should you use to make cupcakes?

You don't need a specific "cupcake scoop" size. You can use a regular ice cream scoop or a measuring spoon to make cupcakes!

Here's a breakdown:

* Standard ice cream scoop (2 oz): This size is ideal for making cupcakes. It fills a standard cupcake liner about 2/3 full, leaving room for the batter to rise.

* Smaller ice cream scoop (1.5 oz or 1 oz): This will make smaller cupcakes, but they might be a bit too dense for a regular cupcake recipe.

* Measuring spoons: You can use a tablespoon or a heaping teaspoon to fill cupcake liners, especially if you prefer a smaller cupcake.

Tip: Always use a scoop with a trigger release. This allows you to cleanly scoop out the batter and avoid excess batter on the side of the scoop.

Ultimately, the best size depends on your preference and the recipe you're using. If you're unsure, start with a standard ice cream scoop (2 oz) and adjust as needed.
