I'm sure your sweetheart is worth the cost, nevertheless, not everyone wants to spend such an exorbitant amount of money. Perhaps a home baked cake would be sufficient to communicate your fondness for that special someone.
I used a heart-themed bundt pan for my cake. I'm calling my creation the Tunnel of Love cake in honor of Valentine's Day. The delicious feature of this cake is that it makes a fudgy tunnel though the middle while baking.
