Tall Cupcakes
I know someone has posted this elsewhere, but I can't find it. There is a technique for creating tall cupcakes - you either put them into a hot oven then turn it down, or into a slow oven and turn it up - but I don't know which it is! My cupcakes, no matter what recipe I seem to use, always come out flat on the top. If there's too much batter they just spread. I'd really like my cuppies to have a nice little dome at the top.

I actually dont have the answer, but funny, I'd like mine to be flat. Easier to decorate. :)

I think the term Tall cupcakes is a way of stacking two cupcakes on top of each other and decorating them as one.
I reallly think it is the size of the cup in your cupcake pan that determines the size and shape. I have very old pans and the cup is not like the newer ones they put out now, and those come out crazy, I put to much in them one time and I had muffin tops on those. But when I used a new pan, they came out perfect with a little dome on top, the ones with not enough batter were flatter.

I think you're right, Gretchen. The term I was looking for was "Domed Cupcakes". Whoops. Didn't even know there WAS a whole decorating niche of stacked cupcakes. Seems a little weird to me - just eat two cupcakes, I say!

i believe you have to keep the oven door ajar just slightly then it will dome

Yesterday I went to the the website that Sweet Art Cakes suggested for the tutorial on cupcakes... Learned a thing or two.... and look what I did, an awesome swirl, my other cupcakes were flat, not anymore!!! Thanks so much for directing us to that site... I am loving my mad swirl skills from last night, I hope I can duplicate it on all the cupcakes I do for now on.
