 cupcakes and a lemon cake and a chocolate cake... are you having 100 people?
if not you may be making too much food...
but yeah they will keep... do the final decorations (sprinkles or drizzle the morning of if you can...
and it should be fine...
and relax... no one talks about the party in terms of the food... "we had a GREAT TIME AND the food was great" but it's all about the people and the fun... the food is secondary.

If you're planning on decotaing the cup cakes with buttercream and sprinkles etc - it best to leave the sprinkles until the day of serving because the sprinkles seem to melt and sink into the icing if they're left sitting. It still looks pretty but you don't get quite the same look and texture.
Oooh! you've got me in the mood now. I want to bake a cake...

 Hi,
I'm not really a baking expert, however I do believe that especially supermarkets don't make theirs on a daily basis and they store them for days on end.
I would say that they will be fine and still as flavorsome and delicious after a day in a sealed container.
I would like to add, that I am free to do taste tests. lol
