Size and flavour questions

[KanyesLunchbox]

I'm making cakes to feed approx 30. I was going to do two, one a lemony Madeira and the second a Nigella chocolate cake. I should probably do each as an 8inch shouldn't I? And what would you think of a raspberry cream cheese icing i refuse to call it frosting on the chocolate cake?

Raspberry Cream Cheese icing sounds great, for either of them. Also, three cheers for "Icing" rather than "Frosting".

I also refuse to bake cupcakes. It's buns all the way round here!
