How do I get a dome on my cupcakes instead of a flat top?

Answer: I’d thought the same thing not so long ago. It seems a blog called the Cake Journal had a great answer (and tutorial) to address this. According to the Cake Journal, “My best way to get a dome on cupcakes is not to cream the butter and the sugar, but to whisk the eggs and sugar and melting the butter with the milk, thats about it. Of course this method will change the texture of the cupcake to a more light and airy cupcake, but if the cupcake is going to be dipped in poured fondant this method is perfect.”
