When ready to assemble, put one cake (save the cake with the best-looking top for the uppermost tier) upside down on a plate or cake stand. Place half of the curd on top and spread it out (allow the curd to drip slightly over the edges). Put the next cake, right side up, on top, then cover with the second half of the curd, as before. Finally, top with the third (and best-looking) cake. Dust with icing sugar and decorate with some more chopped lavender, if you wish.
Warning: this recipe contains partially cooked eggs.
