Your price is your price , Geez I charge around $250 for a 12 inch cake .
The grocery store doesn't reduce the price of milk and eggs , just because you have a few extra bills that week.
I would reply with, I am sorry that the cake is not within you budget , I hope your event goes well ,

Your price is waaaayyy too low as it is! As Chellescakes said, tell her you are sorry that you can't accomodate her since her budget will not allow it..
I wish I knew where you could get a 12" cake for $35!!!

We require a 2 week notice on many of our cakes and for those who call "last minute" even if someone else screwed them and they're in an emergency situation, we charge an extra $25 fee. I make it clear to our customers that I bake out of my home and do not keep a full inventory at all times.
I've had several people tell me my prices are too high but for every one who tells me that, I have 20 more buying my cakes. I just kill them with kindness and reply "No problem! I hope you have a very happy day with your event and look forward to doing business with you in the future"

I would rather make 1 cake for $150, than 3 for $50 each.
The person who works for nothing will always have plenty to do!
My sarcasm is good-humored. People generally really like me, in person ;-)

I can't believe you can make a 12inch cake for SIXTY dollars...... let alone $35
Sometimes I think I should just keep my opinions to myself, but someone has got to be the voice of reason

This is meant to be about your self-worth but I think it is really quite pertinent to those that sell cakes too!

Oh my....... 60.00 for a 12" cake. I am just an amateur and a new business owner in a small town and my starting price for 12" would be 120.00. I don't know how you could make a 12" cake for 60.00 without losing money, factoring in labour. Nevermind 35!!! That is insane.
A compromise is the art of dividing a cake in such a way that everyone believes he has the biggest piece.

This exactly, I had to check the exchange rate and a 12" comes to $251.
Don't accept $60, its daylight robbery.

OK, I am always concerned about my prices. I have been charging $65 for a 12" cake and now feel that is too little when I read others' comments. I need to go and calculate my costs again!!!
@ allcupcakedout: Your price is more than reasonable and I agree with the others about how to respond. Those who are willing to pay your price will appreciate your work. Those who complain about the price are likely to be trouble anyhow, so I would not lower the price just to get the job. Always respond in a nice way because you never know when that person may turn around and recommend others.
