My favorite way is a cookie scoop. I bought all three sizes from pampered chef. The large one (hols about 3T) is perfect for normal size cupcakes to bake flat on the top. The smallest one is perfect for the mini cupcakes.
I have also heard of people using the ice cream scoops, however there is such a wide range of sizes I would test out what size works best for the cupcake you are trying to achieve.
i use ice cream scoops
#20/yellow handle - if i want domed cupcakes (each scoop is around 1/4c batter)
#24/red handle - if i want flat cupcakes
see chart from baking 911 for measurement and equivalents

I use the Pampered Chef scoops, too. The large one is a perfect cupcake! And they are easy to clean - dishwasher safe. I've had mine for more than eight years!
I use 3 different sizes of ice cream scoops for different size cupcake liners. It makes the job easy, not messy at all and the cupcakes come out the same size.
I got the scoops from Instawares. Here's the link to scoop size #30: http://www.instawares.com/ambidextrous-dishers-30-1.972904.0.7.htm
For cupcakes in paper fruit and nut cups, I use scoop size #20 (for 4oz liner), #30 (for 3.25oz liner), #40 (for 2oz liner).
