Prepare filling:

- Spoon chocolate glaze onto the center of the top of the cake; gently spread toward the edge of the cake {a little at a time}, just barely getting it to the edge of the cake it will start to spill over the edge on its own and gravity will do the work of creating 'spills' over the edge of the cake.
