You make great creations

I really need some good cake mix recipes for cakes and cupcakes, as i can decorate them well as i love art but dont seem to have the recipes right.
Any help please?
Thank you
I tend to use the Hummingbird recipes for cupcakes. When all the ingredients are in, I don't mix for as long as the book says. I just mix til it is combined with no massive lumps. (I think if you mix as long as they say the raising agent will have peaked before you get it in the oven.) I also put a pan of hot water in the oven to increase the steam to keep the cakes moister. I have taken to doing this with cupcakes now as well. Before I was worried it might affect the cases, but it doesn't seem to.

I use madeira cake for large decorated cakes.
