Those are domed because of the way they're frosted!. If you want to create that look, fill a frosting bag and put your largest circular tip on it!. With the bag held straight up and down and fairly close to the surface of the cupcake (like 1/4 inch away), squeeze out the frosting so that it makes a "doughnut" shape around the tip!. Keep squeezing until the dome of frosting is the size you need!. Then slightly squeezing, gently raise the frosting bag up to the level of the dome top!. Stop the pressure and lift the tip!. You should have a nice dome!.
For the cupcakes, a regular cake mix will do fine!. Just fill the cupcake papers up 2/3 full!.
Good luck, and enjoy your picnic!Www@FoodAQ@Com
