How far do you fill up the baking cups for cupcakes?

You should fill cupcake liners about 2/3 full for the best results. Here's why:

* Rise: Cupcakes need room to rise. Filling them too full will cause them to spill over the sides and create a messy, uneven bake.

* Texture: A cupcake filled 2/3 full will have a nice, fluffy texture and a dome-shaped top. Overfilled cupcakes can be dense and flat.

* Baking time: Cupcakes filled to the appropriate level will bake evenly and thoroughly. Overfilled cupcakes might need longer baking time, which can dry them out.

Pro tip: Use a scoop or measuring cup to ensure consistent filling for all your cupcakes.
