Hi there - thanks for your comment! I'm glad it looks great - did you change the recipe (i.e. the eggs) at all to ensure the pie came out alright? Feel free to share!

My husband loves German Chocolate Cake, so I thought this would be fun to try for Thanksgiving. Just made the frosting and followed directions to the letter, but found chunks of cooked egg in the completed product. I made it twice. The second batch was better, but I still had to pull out small chunks of egg. As I looked back at the directions, they seem a little. It looks wonderful and am excited to taste it. Having a hard time keeping hubby away until after dinner! ;)
