MINI CUPCAKES SIZING !!!!!
HI,
I would like to know if there is a difference in sizing with mini cupcakes between american and Australia as i have been watching some cupcake shows recently and the mini cupcakes looked larger than the mini's we have here our minis take only a teaspoon or so of batter they are really tiny and american size looks alot better and more space to decorate etc. so if anyone knows if there is a difference could u please let me know i have goggled it but have not been lucky in finding any info thanks

There are different sizes of cupcake baking cups for sure. I consider my minis the size you are referring to. If you get Wilton cupcake baking cups their mini size is what I use as a mini... However... I just got a shipment of baking cups from Fancy Flours and there are all different sizes in them. There was a sale at Fancy Flours so I ordered a bunch of them and was surprised to find several different sizes among them depending on what they are. So I guess it probably depends on where you buy your cups. I was having a bit of a dilema trying to figure out if I would consider some of them a mini or a regular size... so I think I will be adding a "midi" size which will be in between the other two! I will see if I can take some pictures of the cups and post them tomorrow to show you the different sizes.

Even among the Americans there are variances. The "minis" I sell use a liner with a base of 1 1/2" & wall of 1". This is larger than a standard mini muffin or the "mini" cupcake liners sold at craft stores.

Taking the measurements of the moulds is practically irrelevant - manufacturers vary widely. A volume is more accurate, as you are dealing with a liquid batter.
In Australia:
If your Mini takes only a teaspoon, then you are using a chocolate mould not a cake mould.
If your Mini takes only 1 AU tablespoon batter, then you are using the correct mould with 2 US tablespoons or 30ml volume. Paper liner = Confeta cup size 360
The original customary AU cupcake was a "fairy cake" size: the volume of the mould was 60ml [fill it with 2x AU tablespoons batter]. Commercially speaking, this size has pretty much been superseded. The moulds are still available, as are the liners [from the supermarket].
The current AU cupcake has a volume of 80ml [fill it with 3x AU tablespoons or 1/4 cup batter] Paper liner = Confeta cup size 550
Cupcake moulds with a volume of 120ml are not so common. Speculatively speaking, this seems to be the common size in the US. eg. Wilton regular has a 1/2 cup capacity.
Texas cupcake moulds have a volume of 180ml [fill it with 125ml or 1/2 cup batter] Paper liners vary from Confeta size 800 to Confeta size 900 as there are two slightly different sizes.
Jumbos have a volume of 250ml or 1 cup [fill it with 180ml or 3/4 cup batter]. At this stage you are making small cakes not cupcakes.
