Are you committed to a round cake? I did a 2layer 12x18 cake that ended up being 4" tall and it served 100 people. You could do a 12x18 bottom layer (you could tort it or not) and the top tier could be an 11x15, again, torted or not (you could even trim it to 9x15) and it could accommodate the 80 people. Just a thought!

Please remember when charging her that if she wants to cut larger slices than 1x2x4 then she will need to order more servings. She only wants to feed 80 ppl but she wants slices 2x2x4 then you need to charge her for 160 serving b/c that is how much cake you are making. (this is just an easy math example if she wants a slice between there somewhere then you will need to figure out how many servings that is that you are selling)

You should not give away free cake just because she wants to cut larger slices.
