with your other bowl of chocalte butter cream,put all of it into a piping bag.then put the piping bag to the egde of the cake.and squeze it on the spot.and then let go.so then you have a small ball.go around all the edges of the cake.
with the rest of the butter cream ,go into the centre of the choclate cake.do one big swirl in the middle,leaving a gap between the balls.
