Love is Love (Lemon Cake with Blueberry Curd and Champagne Buttercream)

One of my dearest friends tied the knot in a sweet civil ceremony in New York City. It was a lovely, intimate, socially distanced affair celebrating the love of a wonderful couple. Since it was family only, I did the only thing I could to celebrate the nuptials of my darling Kotera.
