I expect most have you have been using these scoops in different sizes for some time but I have only recently bought the smaller scoops. They are ideal for scooping muffin and cupcake mixture into cases. I have used the smallest scoop for making mini muffins for the twins packed lunches and the middle size scoop for regular muffins and cup cakes. They are also useful for making circular whoopie pies instead of the irregular shapes that come from using a spoon
