Looking to get your cupcakes even every time? Use a disher (you know, the scoop that the lunch lady uses to serve mashed potatoes). For standard-sized cupcakes, use a size 24 disher (holds about 1 1/3 oz); for miniature-sized, use size 50 (about .65 oz); and for jumbo-sized, use size 8 (about 4 oz). Happy baking!
