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

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. any ideas on how to decorate the cupcakes/cake?
6. what should i use for a cupcake stand/tiers? any suggestions on where to buy?


Thanks!
