For semi-naked look, frost the cake. use a cake scraper to smooth the cake. Have little bits of the cake poking out. Frost the top of the cake.

For a fully frosted cake, apply a light layer of frosting over the cake. Freeze for 10 minute to lock the crumbs in. Frost the rest of the cake.

Pour

Freeze the cake for 10 minutes. Make the chocolate drip. Pour half the chocolate on the cake. Use an offset spatula to push the chocolate down the cake. Top the cake with the rest of the chocolate.

Freeze the cake for 10 minutes before adding the berries on top. If you place the berries on top of the cake with wet chocolate, they will slip off.
