How do you get cupcakes to dome?
Three things: the right oven temperature (350°F), filling liners only 2/3 full so the batter has room to rise, and not over-mixing — which kills the air pockets that create lift. GF batter rises more than wheat batter, so under-filling is key.
What's the best frosting for each flavor?
Vanilla and lemon cupcakes love buttercream. Red velvet demands cream cheese frosting — it's non-negotiable. Chocolate cupcakes get double-chocolate buttercream with melted chocolate and cocoa. The frosting should complement, not compete with, the cake flavor.
