And here is the cake in its full glory. First a closeup on the "experimental" placing of a square on top of a circle (two circles = three layers total), and my "hipster messy hair" approach to spreading the buttercream.
Then a cross-section:
Here you can see the layers - white cake brushed with lavender syrup, layered with lemon-chocolate ganache and lemon curd, and topped with lemon buttercream and lavender meringues. The lavender flavour didn't come through that well, but the cake is pretty tasty - even now, a week and a half later.
