Tried a mirror glaze cake for the first time, ended up with a crime scene

Spent 3 hours on Saturday making a mirror glaze for a birthday cake... looked like a glossy red masterpiece in the pan. Poured it over the chilled cake and within 30 seconds it all slid off into a puddle on the stand. The cake was nearly bare with a sad red moat around it. Turns out my cake wasn't chilled long enough, like 4 hours instead of the 8 the recipe said. My sister called it abstract art, but I'm just gonna stick to buttercream from now on. Has anyone else had the glaze just completely abandon ship on them?
