Do NOT overfill the liners when making cupcakes or muffins. Use an ice cream scooper (even though it's one more thing to clean) to equally measure the batter into your cupcake liners. This will ensure that you have evenly cooked cupcakes. If you overfill the liner, the batter will spill out onto the pan as it bakes thus making a mess.
