Decorating the cake.

1. Mix some lemon juice with some of the lemon curd – to thin it, but ideally not as runny as in my picture.
2. Spread about three quarters of the lemon curd on the cake and sandwich two layers together.
3. Fold the remaining lemon curd into the whipped Elmlea, along with a little icing sugar and use this to cover the outside of the cake.
