Does anyone know why my cupcakes are sinking in the middle? When I pull them out they have a nice dome. I just made 50 cupcakes and most of them sunk in the middle. I will fill with frosting and I'll be the only one that knows but I like to have a good product. I feel like I'm cheating the Customer. These are a freebee but I'm trying to get my name out there. If I get paying Customers for cupcakes I want a nice dome. Any clues????
Thanks in advance,
Kat
MAybe do you open the oven while they are in the middle of baking? Or the only thing I can think of is do you evenly messure the batter you put in the cupcake. Not really sure but just some thoughts off the top of my head.
I have problems with my chocolate cupcakes sinking. I was told in a previous post not to open my oven door too much.
When I baked my chocolate cupcakes I also had some round cakes in the oven and they didn't sink, only the cupcakes did.
I do put pudding in my chocolate cakes for a richer and more moist cake, but I don't use pudding in my other cakes. Is anyone else using pudding when their cupcakes sink?

DianeLM, I think you may be right. I don't open my oven door at all, I learned that lesson before. the last pan I did I turned up to 400 degrees (left them in a little too long) and only one or two of them were sunken. I use the same recipe for my cupcakes as I do the cakes so they are a little dense. Thanks for the advise, I will crank the heat up next time. 
I have the same problem. I just made 120 mini cupcakes and all of them have flat tops. I have tried them and they are cooked.
I hope someone has advice for us.
Flat tops are great! Don't worry about that - for me anyway, they're easier to decorate with flat tops.
Yes I use DH it's the only one I like. I don't have the sunken problem all the time just some. I think it also has to do with what I add which effects how high the temp needs to be. (thanks Diane) I do like the flat tops also and depending on what I'm doing with them. Yes too big of a dome reminds me of muffins also. I like a little bump and or flat, no dips.
