Step 7: Once the white chocolate is fully melted, pour the chocolate into the warm gelatin mixture. Carefully whisk mixture until fully combined.

Step 11: *To Glaze Cake

Step 12: Place a chilled buttercream cake (Chill in the freezer at least 1 hour) on top of a circular object smaller than the cake board, and set this on top of a wire rack over a large baking sheet (to catch the run-off glaze).

Step 13: Begin pouring the glaze onto the center of the cake, then slowly work out to the edges of the cake in a circular motion until the cake is fully covered.

Step 14: Let the glaze continue to drip for about 10 minutes, then scrape away excess glaze from the bottom of the cake board using a small offset spatula.
