The foil liners are typically used for cold moulded desserts, not for
baking.

Your Subj. says "cupcakes specifically" but here you ask about
"muffins"... which is it?!?!? Cupcakes use liners, muffins do not. I
know some do use liners with muffins, especially stupidmarket muffins,
but liners absolutely ruin a perfectly good muffin by preventing a
crust from forming. So, if you show your recipe (you don't seem to
know the difference between a cupcake and a muffin) then perhaps
someone can help you.
