2013 seems intent on leaving me in its dust. January was a blur and we are only a few days away from February. Ahhh... February! The month of love, pink, red, chocolates, roses and strawberries!
Yes, strawberries! I have always associated these little red jewels with all things love-related. Dipped in chocolate, topped with whipped cream, or just piled in a bowl, they're just plain sexy, in my opinion. And this dessert is the perfect union of all of the above, sandwiched between layers of light fluffy cake. A perfectly sweet love affair! Anyone else feeling a little hot and bothered...
I was a little late to my own Valentine's party last year, so I aim to get a head-start this year. And who better to look to for inspiration and to help spread the love than my fellow sweet-fiends!
Which leads us to my very first Linkup - not to be confused with 'hook-up', this isn't that type of page. 😉 Although... you may fall in love with a few blogs along the way and decide to stick with them. That, I encourage!

So let's get to it, shall we! Here's how our Linkup works:
- FUN - let's aim for lots of it!!
- SHARE - something sweet and valentine-inspired for the rest of us to drool over. Use the inLinkz tool below to add a direct link to the related treat. Links to Blogs, Facebook, Flickr etc. are all welcome. One submission per person please. Add your link and the title of your blog post/dessert.
- SOCIALIZE - spread the love! You'll be provided options to share on Twitter and Facebook when you add your link. I also encourage you to visit the blogs of other linkup participants and show some love by way of comments. Feel free to leave a comment for me as well. 😉
- VOTE - for a chance to win a $25 Gift Certificate from Copper Gifts and The Smart Baker! Voting will begin on February 6 and close on February 9. The submission with the most votes at the end of the Linkup wins!
- LINK RESPONSIBLY - link only to your work and keep it clean.
If you have any questions or run into any issues linking up, please leave me a comment below. This way, the answers will be available to anyone else with a similar issue. Thx!
A very special thanks to The Smart Baker and Copper Gifts for their generous contributions to this giveaway.

J-Its really weird when I go to paste the link in the URL I get a pop up that says all rights reserved. I have never had that happen with a linkz before.

Sorry, Melissa. Not sure what would cause that, but will look into it a little later when I am off work. It's been a full day.
I Sugar Coat It! says
Hi Meriem, I am tied up at work, but will address it when I have a moment later this evening after work.

Not sure what I must do...I'm adding a link to a cake I made: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=155439254609736&set=pb.153498804803781.-2207520000.1359628052&type=3&theater
Is this right?
I Sugar Coat It! says
Ok, Melissa, I did so more digging and found a code that could be the culprit. I have removed it, so if you would like to try again, please do.

You'll need to use the inLinkz tool above, Radhika. It appears immediately below the photo set.
