Getting REALLY tired of 'sheet cake' weddings...

I have pretty much decided to stop doing sheet cakes for weddings entirely. My wedding cakes are 3.25 per serving, scratch baked, well decorated....I have won competitions! Most bakeries around here start at 5.00 per serving, not scratch baked...Every wedding now is just a small cake for pictures, then sheets in the kitchen. Well, for me, there is almost no time saved by doing sheets. My cakes are torted with 3 layers of fillings, and it's tough doing that with a half sheet. But my real problem is that I am tired of being the economy of choice. I am delivering cakes to places that are $125 per person not including the bar, with $300 flowers on the tables! Last weekend was the last straw. The bride had cookie favors on a table, and I was there when they were delivered. I asked the lady how much they were. $12 apiece! She ordered a 12/9/6 cake with 3 sheets on the kitchen. I felt really badly, although I can't exactly say why. But I am changing things as of today. ! I am raising my prices. 2. I only do decorated cakes, no sheets. QAnd if I ever run into the writer who casme up with the sheet cake for savings idea, they will get an earful!
