Are these good for scooping out cupcake batter?

It depends on the size of the cupcake batter. This will make a medium size ball of cookie dough, cupcake batter might be a little runny for this and these might be too small. It seems like this is the wrong tool for the job. It would scoop more efficiently than a spoon, less efficiently than a ladle.

They are mostly useful for semi-solid materials like cookie dough, fruit, etc. They perform as a scoop, though, so if you are scooping liquid it should work.

I use the medium size scoop for muffins, and it's perfect! The medium size scoop fills a regular size cupcake/muffin tin perfectly. I also have a pan for the large muffins, and it takes 3 or 4 scoops to fill it. But the process is still easy.

For a regular size cupcake tin, the lg scoop works very well, 1 scoop per tin.Gives a nice full rounded cupcake.

Yes. We use them at preschool for scooping muffin batter and they are perfect. I'm not sure which size corresponds to which size muffin tin.

These scoops are very good at releasing the cookie dough. I'm sure it may depend on how sticky the dough is, but for cookies such as chocolate chip, snickerdoodles, oatmeal raisin, gingersnaps, peanut butter blossoms and even dropping no bakes it did very well! I had no problems with it.

yes, they're just the rings...that spatula looking thing is the only 'bottom' they have. I have used them to bake cakes by putting them on a silpat sheet, but they do still leak a wee bit, and I wouldn't try a particularly runny batter at all. But given that wasn't what they were actually designed to do, I thought they worked rather well.

Yes! These are very sturdy cups and the handles are fairly short as well, so you can get a good grip when scooping heavy ingredients.

I haven't baked with them yet but they appear to be a little shorter/shallower than I was expecting. I think they will be fine for meatloaf and the egg muffins I do but not sure how cupcakes will turn out.

They would be good for picking up with tongs. My daughter uses them for that purpose - she's 2 1/2 and doesn't have a problem with it!

I'd agree with the previous answer. If they're just being used for oatmeal, cereal or stirring coffee, I think it'd be fine to use them. Scooping frozen ice cream from a container, however, wouldn't work. Hope this helps give you a point of reference.

These scoops are wonderful for an easy release of your batter/cookie dough, etc. No problems with those I purchased.

Yes. You could push them down into the cupcake and that might work. If you had a cake they would work better. Good luck.

I think they will work fine for cookies. The ridges would give a cookie a nice look.

Yes but they are very tiny, they would hold a mouthful. I use them to do mini shrimp cocktails -- a little bit cocktail sauce, wedge of lime, sprig of cilantro and two shrimp. We have also done chocolate mousse with mini silver spoon.

I don't think they would break up the clumps in the batter. Better to use the whisk Bosch attachments. But I have never tried to use them for a cake batter to know for certain.

I believe they should work. I use these to wrap my cake pops, and chocolate dipped strawberries. Hope this works good luck.

I think it would work fine for one of the thinner batters, such as for making funnel cake. The times I've made donuts, they were more of a dough that you roll out and cut. I think it would take a special device to drop out donut dough.

Yes, they really work. I used them with a very loose (think syrupy) batter, and the cakes stayed in the papers. Good luck with your baking project!

They are fairly thin and flexible. I have not tried them standing alone -- they work wonderfully in a muffin tin. I think it would depend on what was in them - a thickish batter would probably be fine.

No, these are quite nice for all sorts of treats. They bend nicely to release your goodies and wash up perfectly for your next creation. They are one of the best ways to make single servings of all kinds, from tarts, mini pecan or pumpkin pies, muffins, fancy cakes or candies, that is in my opinion. Enjoy!
