HELP PLEASE - Timeline for 200 cupcakes and a 3 layer 6" cake

Hello, I am hoping someone can help me out.  I have my first big order to fill coming up on the 22nd of this month.  I have to make 200 cupcakes (100 vanilla and 100 chocolate) as well as a 3 layer 6" vanilla buttercream covered cake.  My question is, what should my timeline be?  How soon can I start baking and still have them be fresh for the wedding?  I have limited fridge and freezer space so storing them there is not really an option.  Also, How long can the batter sit out?  I mean can I have a batch sitting in the pan while some are baking, while I mix the next batch? Please advise. Thanks, Rosa.

Wow Jeri C! I am very impressed. Someday I hope To be 1/2 as organized as you. Not to mention a talented baker! Good luck Rosa and congrats on your large order.
I was stressed making my fiance's daughter's birthday cake. I could not imagine taking on such an order so early in my game. The "Dad, she is the best girlfriend ever, I can't wait for her to be my mom!!!!" Response after taking her first bite was priceless.

Your work is beautiful! All I can say is make a list. I do it even for just family cakes.
