Ok... so I HATE pouring Cupcake batter.... and I get A LOT of cupcake orders.... today I thought... hhmmmmmmmm what can I do to make life easier on this beautiful Sunday.... viola... my extra large McDonald's cup...... been in my cabinet 4EVER... .and I thought lets try it... Ladies and Gentleman it worked beautifully.... they are flexible enough to bend and use as a pour spout and they hold a lot of batter... .so the next time you are in a hurry and want to fill your CC cups.... find your trusty McDonald's plastic drinking cup 
hehehehehehehehehe!
I use a ice cream scoop to fill my cupcake cups and 1 scoop is just perfect for each one.
well my IC scoop is my usual, but we are selling our house, so I have packed up a lot of the clutter (mind you I have tons of cake stuff) so my IC scoop was in the kitchen box..... so my cup it was.... I also have used the wilton candy melt squeeze bottles with the tip cut off, when I do cc mini's!

Same here I have different sizes and they work great.
If I am making some that I want to make sure they are the same size, I place my baking pan on my scale, I use either the ice cream scoop or some measuring cup and pour 1 oz or whatever. But I will have to find one of those McDee's cups and try it. It sound easier and they are so light too.
Good Luck.
Good idea! I usually pour my batter into a pyrex measuring jug and it pours really nicely.

That's what I use -- my glass Pyrex measuring glass. Works like a charm! 
You could also used a disposable frosting bag. Just filled and clip the tip and squeeze.
You guys just made me think of something else, I wanted to purchase a "pancake maker pourer" not sure the technical name for my DH for Father's day, I wonder if that would do double duty?
Anyone??
Good Luck
I cant picture what your saying but it might come in handy for something!!!
It's like a measuring cup with a opening at the bottom.
When you asked I thought of it again and looked it up it's called a Pancake Batter Dispenser:
Check it out:

I dont know how well you can control the flow or not. It might be worth the try.
Anyhow my DH is getting one for Fathers day. I will go and pick it up tomorrow!
4 1/2 weeks before baby # 3 arrives and I wont have time once we are homebound for a week or so!
Good Luck

If it's the same thing that Williams-Sonoma is selling as a batter pourer for pancakes and muffins, DON'T DO IT MON!!! I spent $35 on that piece of c#@% and you couldn't clean it!! 
That's right, the handle thing on the outside that was attached to the plunger thingy on the inside -- you would pull the handle out and batter would get behind it and there was no way to unscrew it to clean it!! Used it once, got all moldy and into the trash it went! 
Save yourself!!! 
Here's a link to the one I bought: http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/sku7091101/index.cfm?pkey=xsrd0m1%7C15%7C%7C%7C0%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7Cbatter&cm%5Fsrc=SCH
I like the ice cream scoop, I have to try that.

Thanks for the tip, here I though it would be a great tool for my DH and I to share. HE loves to make his from Scratch pancakes, but ends up with messy measuring cups. Maybe I will have him try the McDee's Cup and that will make it easier. Unless the large Ice Scream scoop might work.
Thanks everyone
Good Luck.

I just bought one of these (exactly like this one) from salvation army store. I only paid $1.99 for it. Will try it on cupcakes and let you know. I always have used it for pancakes and doughnuts.
