I'm making my cousin's wedding cupcakes with a 6" cake on top this July. This will be my first time making so many cupcakes, and my first time making 200 cupcakes.

Does anyone have any advice they can give me on:
1. how to plan everything out before the wedding?
2. how far in advance should i be baking the cupcakes?
3. how should i transport all the cupcakes and cake on a 1 hr car ride?
4. what things should i do to prevent the frosting from melting?
5. how should i decorate the cupcakes/cake?
6. what should i use for a cupcake stand/tiers?

Thanks!
