I've been asked to do a cupcake tree for an upcoming bridal shower in December. While I am comfortable making CAKES as everyone says my cakes are very moist I am not as comfortable with cupcakes as I have never made any since I have started cake decorating 
.
I always use Duncan Hines cake mixes and plan to do so for the cupcakes. The flavors will probably be Strawberry and Marble. So my question to all you seasoned bakers is this: Can you plese share your cupcake mixing and baking secrets so I can ensure a moist, light cupcake? I would really appreciate it! Thank you.
I doctor my cake mixes and they seem to work if I am baking the mix as cakes or cupcakes.
I use milk instead of water, a box of instant pudding, oil and eggs (sometimes I add an extra egg but not always). I normally use DH mixes and have had good results with my cupcakes.
Good luck 
I also use DH for my cupcakes. You can use a toothpick to make tiny holes in the cupcakes and brush a simple syrup or flavored coffee syrup over them just as you would for a regular cake to add moisture. Or you could pipe in a filling. Hope this helps.
It's very easy to overbake cupcakes, so watch your time. With my oven I bake for exactly 11 mins, then turn the pans then bake another 11 mins. and they usually come out perfect. I also fill each cup with exactly 1/4 cup of batter, the measuring is labor intensive, but you will get a nice crown and each cupcake will be exactly the same size which makes for a nice presentation.
