  In a small sauce pan, add the cream. Heat only till hot, not boiling. When you see bubbles form around the inside edges of pan; it's probably hot enough. Pour this over the chocolate. Let sit for a few minutes; so chocolate can melt. After a few minutes, whisk the mixture, making sure its smooth. Let this set for a minute or two. Now, its time to pour over the lovely cake. Start in the center of cake, and start pouring a little at a time. It will drizzle down over the sides of the cake. You can let some set up, then drizzle more to make a layered effect. I poured mine all at once, slowly.
