In a medium sized bowl, dissolve gelatin in the cold water. Add water to the mandarin orange syrup to make 2 cups. Combine the syrup and sugar in sauce pan. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil for about 5 minutes. Add to the gelatin; stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Cool to lukewarm.
Slowly add the whipped cream to the gelatin. Pour into chilled 9 X9 inch pan.
Garnish with orange slices, pushing them down so that they are just visible through the surface. Try to make a pattern of a sun. Chill.
8 servings come out of this.
