Tap, Tap....Anybody out there?

According to my stats, I think I have like 2 readers....My friends Gabe and Kourtney...This is all fine and good because they are super nice people. However, right now it would do me some good to have a multitude of readers because I could use some advice. If you are out there and care to give your two cents, please do!

Question: Do you think that a lemon curd would be overwhelmed by a dark chocolate cake? Do you think the two flavors would work well together?

The reason I ask this is because I'm looking for a stellar cake to make for the boy next week (it's his berfday). I have a guitar cake pan that I'm going to decorate a 'la Guitar Hero. I want the cake to not only look rad but taste spectacular.

My idea is to do a dark chocolate cake with a lemon curd. On top, maybe a light layer of lemon butter cream and if if IF I get ambitious, I may try to top it with fondant. No promises.

So opinions, please! Or if you have a super cake recipe that I NEED TO TRY, send that my way to...
