  5. In medium saucepan, heat the sugar, honey, orange juice, water, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Heat to dissolve sugar and simmer 5-10 minutes until mixture becomes yrupy. Cool well.
  6. Pour Syrup over cooled cake, poling holes in cake with a fork, to permit syrup to penetrate cake. Allow to stand 2 to 4 hours to absorb syrup. You might prefer to refrigerate the cake so that while it is absorbing liquid, it is also firming. Also, The chilled cake offsets it innate sweetness and makes it easier to cut. Serve it on muffin liners, Splayed out as pastry or confection cups, or on pastry doilies.
