Help! How Would I Make This A Turtle Cake

I want to fill a chocolate cake with caramel, pecans, and hot fudge syrup. How would I go about doing this and what order would you do it in. I think I have to make a dam, right? Will it gush out since I am filling it with mostly liquidy filling?

Even if you construct a dam, if your filling is too runny, you run the risk of it soaking into the cake completely. I have filled cakes with runny fillings before but the cake was sealed off with ganache first so that the filling would not soak into the cake at all.
When I make my turtle cake (and it's a family favorite), I layer ganache (made with semi-sweet chocolate), then sprinkle on some toasted, chopped pecans and gently press them into the ganache, then pour/spread dulce de leche which is a little thicker (or at least you can make it thicker if you cook it longer) than just caramel sauce. I do this combo between each layer of cake.
