How do I typically migrate a CakePHP app?

Dear group,

I've just build my first CakePHP app (gpc.fm) and love the framework.
Being such a newbie, I've got what might be a very basic question:
What does upgrading, e.g. to 2.0, typically involve besides possible
code changes in _my_ part of the code?

Do I basically just copy the /cake folder from the new distribution
over my old /cake directory?

Any description of the process would be great. I do understand the
part about possible breaking changes and the fact that I might have to
revisit my app's code.

So my question is really related to the core first step of upgrading.
What is a best practice to upgrade? Copying new files over the
existing ones?

Or, Starting with the 2.0 cake archive and manually copying over all
controllers, views etc. from the old project?

I'm somewhat lost but do want to move to 2.0 asap.

Thanks for taking the time.
