I have some guests coming this Sunday, I wanna look like Susie homemaker and have this bake baking before the come.

I am so very far from Susie Homemaker that I will make a big mess making up the batter and such, could I make the batter the night before and leave it in the frig and bring to room temp next day and bake?
I am not familiar with this recipe and how making the batter ahead of time will affect the rising of the cake. I prefer to make my batter the same time as I'm baking, but I have stored left over cake batter in the fridge for several days. I have also froze it too. The cakes came out just fine. I use DH and doctor it up for my cakes.
I refrigerate and freeze left over cake batter and use it all the time. I've never had a problem.
I have a confession hehehehe red faced here 
My nosey sister n law was coming over for a couple days and she says if you use boxed mixes you arent a real baker ...
Well before she came I emptied my dh in my good old airtight cake flour 
container and when she came in to help in the kitchen .... I just started measuring and sifting away ....lmbo ....best scratch cake shes ever had and she went on to say while eating my good old homemade dh that boxed cakes s**k .....Im still laughing 
))) shhhhh

Ha ha I love it!!!!
I just want the kitchen not to be a complete wreck when they come over, If I can make the batter and frosting the night before I can do the clean up that night and then that morning I can bake the cake and I hear the above recipe makes a house smell wonderful (kill two birds w/ one stone)
Oh and thanks ladies for the advice, I think I'll go ahead and do it! it wont be in the frig even 24 hrs, if real bakers can get away w/ it then lil ole me and surely do it!
