Using a channel knife, cut long strips from orange peel.
In a medium saucepan, bring water and sugar just to a simmer over medium-high heat, whisking to dissolve sugar. Add orange peel, and cook for 10 minutes.
Using tongs, remove orange peel from syrup mixture. Lay flat on a wire cooling rack. Let stand overnight to dry.
The next day, wind orange peel around a drinking straw to curl. Snip into desired lengths, and use to garnish cake.
