Hello and WoW! Your pictures are beautiful and the cake looks like I could taste the chocolate and pecan, coconut right through the picture! Honestly, I started thinking about it and I don't believe I have ever made a German Chocolate cake. Well, I do have german chocolate bars in the cupboard so I will have to rectify this by trying it immediately. Also, I still can't quit thinking about your Lindt cookies. So much baking, so little time! Hugs and talk to you soon =D
