I know this has been asked before but I have searched and cannot find it. I am doing some mini cupcakes today and am not sure what is the easiest method to get the mix in the liner without making a complete mess. Any tips/tricks would be more then helpful. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I use a mini ice cream scoop, I used to use a melon baller before I got the scoop.

You can also put the batter in a piping bag and pipe it into the liners.

I have a very small scoop from Pampered Chef...works perfectly!

I use a little scoop, but you can also use one of those funnels that has a lever you can pull to let your liquid out - like they use for poured sugar. I tried using a piping bag before, but some of my recipes are too runny and it was very messy for me!!

I followed the advice of a CC'er and used a piping and i will NEVER go back to a spoon...so much easier!

definitely pipe it in.......I use a gallon sized ziploc and it easily holds 2 batches of cake batter, just snip a little hole in the corner and you're good to go!
