We're glad you asked, Christina. It's a valid point you bring up: Sometimes you do want your baked goods to dome! To get your cupcakes to rise high, try pre-heating the oven 25 degrees hotter than the recipe calls for. Let the cupcake batter rest in the pan for 10-15 minutes and then once you put the cupcakes in the oven, turn the temperature down to the temperature called for in the recipe. The initial blast of heat should help make the cupcakes rise nice and high. Check for doneness about 2 minutes early to ensure your cupcakes aren't overbaked. Good luck and happy baking! Kye@KAF
