Pro tip: don’t use lemon curd as filling 
it was way too thin.
I thought I could thicken it enough but I couldn’t! It looked and tasted beautiful inside, but trying to keep it from sliding apart while putting it together was tough.
I forgot to take a photo of the inside while serving my family.
Happy birthday Grandma! 
That’s so beautiful! I hope your Grandma loved this cake 
Also, I’m just a home baker with no training, but I wonder if you could pipe some buttercream or icing on top of the curd to give it more stability? It might still be a bit slippery, but the icing on top could help hold the layers!

Here’s an example from my last Raspberry cake

I actually tried this! That’s usually my strategy, but it was too thin. Even with my icing dam, it didn’t keep that nice clean cut from white to yellow. But great idea!

Sorry if I’m misunderstanding! But it looks like from your raspberry example (which looks amazing, by the way!), there was just a dam piped between layers? This video shows what I’m suggesting: put icing on top of the layer, pipe the dam, add your filling (I know it’s not fresh fruit, but the idea is the same!), then pipe another layer of icing on top and gently spread it to cover the filling. I thought that might give more stability! Either way, your cakes look beautiful and I’m sure they taste just as good!

You’re amazing! I’ll check that out. Thank you!

That sounds really delicious
Looks delicious and elegant!!!
This looks incredible! I can almost taste it. You’ll have to send me a slice to see if my imagination is correct.
Sounds delicious! Happy birthday to your Grandma!!!
Looks delicious, happy birthday to your Grammy!
It looks elegant and sounds delicious 
Such a sweet granddaughter! I hope her birthday was great! How strong of a lemon flavor were you aiming for? Some lemon desserts are subtly flavored, while others are quite strong. Did it have a bright flavor to compliment the blueberries?
@Charlie
I wanted a decent lemon flavor! It turned out great, really balanced with the sweet blueberries. I added more blueberries than usual, which I think was a good choice.

Hey, I just got into cooking and this sounds delicious. Can you DM me the recipe or post it here?
See the notes on how to thicken the curd. It still wasn’t thick enough. BUT this is my favorite lemon curd recipe, so enjoy!
@Terry
You could try adding more butter for a firmer texture. I found that out by accident once.
This looks like everything I want in a cake!
