How do I get my cupcakes to Dome?

Why do cakes flop in the middle?
Too much leavening agent like baking soda or powder can cause a cake to rise too high too quickly. The gas from the leavening agents builds up and escapes before the cake bakes through in the center. This causes the center to collapse and makes your cake layers sink in the middle.
Why did muffins sink in middle?
Muffin was underbaked and cell structure wasn’t set. When the cell structure doesn’t set, the air spaces created by the leavening in the recipe collapses, causing the muffin to sink. Oven temperatures vary over time. If this temperature is significantly hotter than the recipe calls for, reduce the baking time.

Are paper or foil cupcake liners better?

How do you make the perfect cupcake shape?
The trick to perfect consistently shaped cupcakes is an ice cream scoop. We use a 3 tablespoon scoop which fills the cupcake liners 2/3 full which is the perfect amount of batter for each cupcake. Too little batter (liners 1/2 filled) and the cupcakes won’t rise over the edge of the cupcake liner.
