It is preferred that you use baking cups so they will not stick to the pan or crumble when you try to eat them. If you are making them for a party or event, stick with baking cups. Otherwise, when you just feel like making some, it is recommended that you use Vegetable Cooking Spray :)
"Baking Cake Liners", as well as foil or paper liners for cup cakes, are used to bake cup cakes and muffins. Most need to be used inside muffin tins (cup cake pans) because they are not rigid enough to hold the shape of the cake.
Parchment papers, in sheets or circles, are used to line cake pans during baking.
Cardboard bases are used after baking.
Decorative paper liners, or paper doilies, are only used after baking.
There is a baking paper called "parchment paper" you can get at most supermarkets in the section with waxed paper and foil. Waxed paper also can be used to line cake pans.
I have done both. When I left the white paper on the inside of the foil I found that the white and foil liners sometimes separate after baking and don't look as nice for presentation. (It might have just been the brand I used.) I have taken the white ones out and used the foil baking cups by themselves and they work great. Just keep in mind cakes bake more quickly in foil liners. I then use the white ones for baking other things.
As silly as it sounds, cupcake paper holders can be called cupcake papers. Reynolds brand calls them baking cups, and I have also heard them referred to as muffin papers and cupcake liners. Also called cupcake sleeves.
Ceramic cups can be placed in the oven, but make sure the cups are heat treated and dishwasher safe, do not use plastic. Use paper cup liners so you wont have a hard time releasing the cup cake.
Parchment paper [the modern alternative to wax paper] comes in all sorts of pre-cut sizes and shapes. If you can't find it at your nearest grocer, try a cake and baking, or specialty cooking shop.
When baking muffins without a paper liner, the pan is greased and floured. This results in a smoother finish on the crust of the muffin. But when paper liners are used, they aren't greased, which results in a more crumbly texture on the outside, as well as the muffins having a bit of the pleated shape of the liners.
guessing you are talking about cupcakes.... grease and flour the muffin tins, just like you would a baking pan for a cake. Don't forget to tap out the excess flour
Variable is the cost of paper compost liners. The expense reflects the supplier and the transport. On-line orders tend to include shipping costs.

Instead of baking paper, you can use nonstick cooking spray, wax paper, parchment paper, silicone sheets, or teflon. Some people would see baking paper and parchment paper as the same exact things.
Yes, it is safe. Although, no matter what kind of pans you are using, it's always best to use parchment liners in the bottom of the pans. You can buy them in pre-cut circles in all sizes, or cut your own from a roll of parchment paper.
If you mean to line the muffin pan with foil, then no. The muffins will stick to the foil and you'll have trouble getting it off without tearing the muffins. You can simple butter and flour the pan and not use any lining.
When a blue litmus paper are put in a solution of baking soda and the conditions are under the basic ph level, it will turn into red. And if a red litmus paper is put under acidic conditions, it will turn into blue.
