For someone who is OCD like me, this is perfect. The only thing wrong with it is when they put berrys on it. It makes it look broken up.

It says pour over chocolate and beurre mix....what chocolate and buerre mix? I read it 3 times and I am apparently blind and stupid. I don't get it, but I like it.

Has anyone tried? What is the consistency of the icing? Does it dry out quickly? Curious to try.

I believe beurre is butter, they left that out of the list of ingredients, but at the end mention pouring the hot mix over the chocolate and the beurre. So take that into consideration if you try to make this recipe.

I'd say you also need to frost the cake with a smooth finish to correct any existing imperfections ;)
