I don't see the problem? You just tell them your fee is more than that, and that's it.
Basically, you either work for free (as a favour to friends or charity) or full charge. No in between.
The power of "free" over "friend's fee" is that they know it's a favour so they can't feel entitled to anything--and if they still do, you may feel entitled to take a dump in their kitchen sink (free of charge).
