200 cupcakes, commercial kitchen. Or if you are contemplating baking at home gear up to make 10ish batches of cupcakes.

It's nice having chocolate and yellow cupcakes.
Iced them all with butter cream, beware if you are a Hot area......there is nothing like seeing icing slide off.......
Cake decorating stores sell large heavy weight cardboard boxes. They must fit flat in what ever vehicle transports them....seriously.....borrow a van if you must.

Last cupcakes I decorated with gold sparkles, 1/3 with fresh flowers, 1/3 with fondant discs I dyed to match the wedding colors....used the large end of a pastry tip to cut them out.....the cake store will sell dye and fondant that you can mix and roll out/cut.

We had a cupcake tower with glass platters.....three Libby's footed platters with a good portion of the cupcakes around the base. You've got a 6" cake that should be the focus point.....

Good luck.
