Jo's surprise :)

Stressing over finals on friday so I decided to bake a cake, with what was left in the cabinets.  I made a screwball cake, which is chocolate cake with no eggs but vinegar, yes I said vinegar.  I had some chocolate squares so I made a fudge frosting to ice it with.  Then since my friend Jo is going back to France in the fall, so I traced a fleur de lis on it with buttercream using a star tip.  I wanted to use a smaller star tip but since I was packing to go home for the summer, I couldn't find it.  The middle layer of the cake was filled with buttercream icing also.  Jo loved it, I could only have a small piece since I can't have chocolate, It was delish though.  To decorate this cake was a little difficult since it was so hot in my apartment the frosting kept melting off the cake so I could do one side at a time, which was sorta okay since I was stressing over my final on saturday so I decorated and studying on and off.  It worked out okay, wish tho I had went to bed before midnight.
