Help, I just finalized a weekly order with a local business for cupcakes- the problem is I have no idea to get a nice uniform dome on the cupcakes. They look great, I take them out of the oven and they deflate. I'm afraid to leave them in too long and dry them out. Can anyone help?
Thanks

When I want a higher cup I use a taller paper liner in the standard muffin tins, and add more batter. I use an ice-cream scoop to measure my batter. You are forming a taller wall for the cups to rise. I then fill 2/3 full of the liner, not the muffin tins.

go with a higher temperature for cooking and ad baking powder that will make them rise more. Also you can ad meringue powder

I read in the intro to the cake mix doctor book that if you use a cake mix with pudding in the mix that you won't get a nice dome because the pudding causes the cake to be more dense and less fluffy, so try DH mix which does not have pudding, BC and Pillsbury usually do. Also to get uniform cupcakes measure exactly 1/4 cup of batter into each cupcake, they will be even and beautiful.
