Orange + negotiation skills = Cake?

Well, I’ve found out that I might be good at negotiating! Or at least I know what I need to make an orange flavored cake.

After that “two oranges negotiation” class, I decided to prove that you only need the orange peels for the cake. *This had nothing to do with my sudden crave for cake or the fact that I like to bake when I get stressed out.

So, I started out with making pound cake batter.

Then, I cut out a slice of the orange for decoration later on,

and squeezed all the juice.

I’m going to use the juice to flavor icing later on, just so it won’t go to waste.

After that, I chopped up half of the peel

and added it to the batter. I also strained the juice so the icing won’t be all lumpy.

Baked the cake and waited for it to cool, then coated the cake with icing

and decorated it with the slice I cut out in the beginning...

Ta-da!

So at least I know how to negotiate over food, I hope I can transit at least the idea and strategy for a good negotiation. Even in a more serious, legitimate negotiation and although I’m not very good in logical thinking, I got the main point in creating a win-win resolution!
