Default Thin chocolate glaze?

I have now seen something twice, and I'm wondering if anybody can tell

how to do it (e.g. a recipe):


A friend bought a chocolate cake from a world-champion (literally, he
claims) pastry chef, which was basically ganache, the whole cake. The
cake
had a chocolate glaze, all around (top and sides) -- like, say, a
Sacher
Torte. Except that this was a very, very thin glaze, and certainly not
hardened at all.


Then I saw this kind of thin glaze again on another occasion.


I make a chocolate cake with a ganache layer on top, and it occurred to
me
that that this kind of thin, not-hardened glaze would be a nice thing
to do
for it. But the only glaze recipes I know about give you a rather
thicker
glaze, whereas this one seems to be millimeter thin, almost liquid --
and
yet somehow manages to be "set" at the same time.


Can somebody shed some light on this?

I haven't tried this, so I am just guessing, but I plan to make this cake
soon. I saw something nearly identical on Tyler's Ultimate show, and
found
it by googling on the glaze.

Check the chocolate glaze in that recipe.

I tried that and I made a bit of a mess of it. I hope someone else had
better luck.
