But it never fails, at least a third of my cupcakes will be collapsed in on at least one or two sides...frustrating!! icon_cry.gif

It seems this happens when your liners are just a little to big for your pan, so as the batter goes in and it weighs the liner down it slides down in the pan, but the sides will fold in b/c the bottom of the liner is bigger than the bottom of the "cup" in your pan.



yep i find that happens when i use one specific pan of mine. all the rest of my cupcake pans are the same size (the kind you'd buy at walmart/target/etc.). the one that gives me the fits is the one that was handed down to me in college by my mom. they are a smidge smaller and makes my liners sink inward.

It's funny that I wouldn't think that it would be the pans...just thought it must be the cupcake liners. Thanks leily and mandie...I guess it's new pans tomorrow! thumbs_up.gif

I don't get it. I put the cupcakes in the oven at 400 and ended up leaving them for 7 minutes at 400 before turning them down to 325. They were doming beautifully but when I turned them down, they flattened out. Any suggestions?

dnrlee I have also seen several people baking at 400 for five minutes, then turning down to 350. Or someone also posted that as soon as they put the cupcakes in the 400 oven they turn down to 325. Give that a try. I have never had that happen to me. Kathy

This is good to know! I baked some cupcakes last night for 19 minutes, using apple sauce, only because I was out of oil, and wondered why the bottoms were a bit well done. Thanks for the info! Funny how much difference a minute can make!!
