                . Measure the outside circumference of the pie using a piece of
                  kitchen twine. Cut the twine to the measurement of the pie, plus ½

                  inch (12 mm) extra. Measure the height of the pie with a ruler and
                  note the measurement.

                . Cut each transfer sheet in half lengthwise. Using the height

                  measurement of the pie and a ruler, trim each piece lengthwise as
                  neatly as possible so you have 2 chocolate strips the same height
                  as the cake. It’s easiest to use an X-Acto knife or a razor blade for
                  the trimming; scissors require you to handle the sheet too much,
                  which tends to cause the chocolate to rub off.

                6
                . Line a work surface with parchment, then place the transfer-sheet
                  strips on it, chocolate side down and shiny side up. Line the strips
                  up next to each other and tape them together so you form a

                  continuous piece. Using the piece of twine as a guide, cut the
                  attached strips to the same length as the circumference of the
                  cake. Flip the transfer sheet over so the shiny side is down and the
                  textured side is up.

                7
                . Temper the white chocolate (see Note). Spread the white chocolate
                  onto the transfer sheets and apply them to the sides of the pie. Do
                  not peel away the plastic sheeting from the transfer sheets yet.

                8
                . Layer the top of the pie with the remaining lemon curd and top it
                  with a layer of blueberries. Remove the plastic sheeting from the

                  transfer sheets and serve.
