How do you get the perfect cupcake shape?

How do you make cupcakes rise higher?

Place your cupcakes into a preheated 400 degree F oven, no matter what temperature the recipe calls for. Most cupcake recipes suggest 350-375 degrees F, which results in a flat top. When you increase the temperature, the edges of the cupcakes will solidify first, allowing the center to rise, creating a domed top.

How do you fix gummy cupcakes?

Why do my cupcakes rise and then fall?

Too much or too little leavening. Baking powder and baking soda are the two most commonly used leaveners in cupcake recipes. If your recipe contains too much, it may rise so rapidly that it then starts to fall in the oven. If your recipe doesn't contain enough, it may simply not rise much at all.
