HELLO EVERYONE AT CAKE CENTRAL

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET A PERFECT MOUND WHEN BAKING A CUPCAKE IS THERE ANYTHING ONE COULD ADD TO MAKE THE CUPCAKES RISE MORE? ALSO HOW MUCH IN A MEASUREMENT FORM SHOULD ONE ADD TO A CUPCAKE LINER IF THEY ARE USING A STANDARD 2 1/2 INCH AND JUMBO (EXTRA LARGE ). I USE CAKE BOX MIX.

Gracie, standard teaching is that for cupcakes you fill the cups approx. 2/3 full, and for muffins it is approx. 3/4 full.

Cali4dawn, a resident expert on CC uses a measuring cup to fill her cups to make sure that each is filled evenly. I tried that with my last batch and they came out ALMOST perfect.

I find that chocolate cupcakes mound more than others and make sure your oven is hot enough before cooking the cupcakes. It is the initial heat that gives the cake a quick rise and then don't look at them unitl just before they are done cooking, 15-20 minutes at 350. I also make sure that I fill the cupcakes at least 2/3 full, no less and no more, practice and you will find out your amount, mine is 1/2 for my cupcakes.

Good luck

thanks girls for the help

love gracie

I read that you can use an icecream scoop to make uniform cupcakes! I tried it and it works great! Less mess too!
