There is a disease amongst many small-business owners that's a strange mix of superiority and deafness; while you seem to be showing some signs of it, I hope you don't succumb.
The folks I know who have tried out your product seem to all say the same thing: liked the product, horrified at the price. Amongst comments online, both on here and in other forums, people seem to feel comparably. Maybe you can thrive as a business charging these prices while also snubbing your nose at what is, for a lot of people, just standard protocol and customer-appreciation at bakeries: a discount on a dozen.
Then again, maybe you can't. But one way or another, what comes across as a barely-veiled and snotty attitude towards a dissatisfied customer isn't the way to do it. Some people "get" your cupcakes, some don't? Please. That sounds like an excuse for avoiding some self-reflection.
Also, I hope you've got evidence for your statements about Lyndell's; maybe you're new in business and don't understand that unsubstantiated and direct claims like that are things you can be sued over. Plus, it's just kind of bad form.
