Why Do Some Cupcakes Liners Part From The Cupcake??

Hi!
It may sound like a stupid question but i gotta find out...why do some cupcakes stick to the cupcake liners and some do not??
The cupcake liners stick to my chocolate cupcakes but my vanilla buttercake receipe - well..the liners separate from the cupcake. ( by the way, i always double up my cupcake liners)
Has it got anything to do with the receipe itself or do the cupcakes have to cool a certain amount of time in the muffin tins before you take them out? 
any tips or explainations would be great! i'm testing out receipes for wedding cupcakes and I can't have the liners separating!!
thank you!
I had that problem last weekend, but I thought it was because I was using foil liners and non the paper ones. Do paper ones do that, too??? It made them really hard to decorate, and once on the plate, they looked like someone had been messing with them. Ugh!
That's happened here but I think it was because they were overbaked and therefore a lil dry. Does that make sense?
Hi,
both the paper liners came away from the cupcake 
fearlessbaker, you know what, the cupcakes were a little overbaked... i was testing out whether a fan-assisted oven ( convection, i think it's called?) could bake two layers of cupcakes. ordinarily i would bake one layer of cupcakes ( using the double liners in the muffin tin) on the mid to low shelf but i was thinking how the heck am i meant to do a wedding cupcake tree if i can only bake one 12muffin tray at a time!
so i read somewhere that using a fan-oven for cupcakes would be ok, since they are little cakes. i baked them for 15 mins...and yeah, i think they overbaked a bit but i wouldn't have thought that the dryness was the reason why the liners parted - thanks for that wonderful tip!
i shall try it again! i want to make sure that this dosen't happen so that i'm prepared for a wedding cupcake tower.
thanks so much!! 
I can honestly say that all my life; I have never had that happen
Crouton, I am lucky enough to have 2 different brands ovens and both have convection. I started using convection about 2 mos. ago. it is best to test a few of whatever you're baking first. This is true especialy with cookies and smaller desserts. Ovens can from vary slightly from one time to the next. That's why preheating for a long time and getting a good oven thermoniter helps.
