  2. Now, before covering the cake with ganache, trim the borders to get a perfect round, then cover the cake with butter-cream to hide all the imperfections (optional) and cool it in the refrigerator. 1 hour later, place the cake on a cooling rack, and pour the ganache in a circular movement,  starting from the center of the cake and  heading towards the edges.
