If you wish to decorate the cake with candied Orange peel then prepare that before hand.
In order to make some candied orange peel, Add 2 tbsp of Sugar in 1/4 cup of water in a heavy bottom saucepan. Bring it on heat. As the sugar dissolves, add julienne pieces of Orange Peel and let it simmer. When you cut the Orange peel, note that it should not have the white inner lining, otherwise it would turn bitter.Let it simmer for 5-6 minutes before turning the heat off. The peel should have softened. If not then allow it to simmer more. Before it cools down, pour it over the cake. Poke the cake with skewers for better seepage of the sugar-orange syrup.
