Pointy cupcakes?!

Ok, so I love baking cupcakes and attempting to decorate them.
However I have just taken my batch out the oven and as usual they are like pointy and not dome like on the top...
Can any one help?

There's a lot of ideas as to why that happens if you Google "pointy cupcakes" (not in quotes). Some things I saw were if you're in high altitude, overmixing the batter, oven temperature being off. There were some more ideas, but those seemed to be the most common.

If you want your cupcakes to be flat then all your ingredients should be room temperature when you mix them together, that's your eggs and milk as well.
