Prepare glaze:

The glaze should be thick enough to set rather quickly, but if it’s too thick, it will be difficult to spread a thin layer.

If necessary; let the glaze cool to thicken, or heat it gently to thin.

Drizzle spoonful of glaze along the edges of the cake so that it drips down and coats the sides. When the sides are completely covered, spoon the rest of the glaze on top of the cake and smooth it out with a flexible metal spatula.

Cover the side of the cake with the remaining ½ cup of pecans by pressing them gently against the glaze with the palm of your hand.
