How Do I Get A Nice Big "muffin Top" On My Cupcake

Mine always have a flat top...
Is there a certain recipe that's better than most for a nice crown? I often use a modified mix, and that's not working for me.
it might be that you jus tneed to put more batter in your cups.

I have tried filling my cups 3/4 full, but they just bake a bigger flat head. I'd like a nice round crown, and was wondering if my recipe was at fault.
It's a modified mix with extra egg, box of pudding and 1/2 cup oil, 1 1/4 c. water/liquid. Is it too heavy?
Anybody know a recipe that "puffs up"?
Loucinda, I will have to try that oven temp trick, thanks!
Thanks, I will test it out tomorrow.
I originally asked because a friend asked me what I would charge for 20 unfrosted cupcakes and different colored icings for a kid's craft party. (I have no idea what cupcake charges are). I told her it would be cheaper to bake them herself since I had to charge for my time (and I didn't want to charge for ugly flat unfrosted cupcakes).
Ironically (after this post) I was asked to do cupcakes for a wedding reception...Guess it is all the rage, and I better get with the program!
Funny, my cupcakes bake flat when I want them to crown and my cakes get a crown when I want them to be flat.. 
..but that can be sliced off at least...thank goodness for bake-even strips.
