Bring the water and grand marnier to a boil and pour over the gelatin in a large bowl. Stir till gelatin dissolves.
Add the dried apricots and cranberries and let sit and cool for about 5-10 minutes.
Using a potato peeler, make thin strips using one or two carrots so that you have 1/2 cup of carrot curls.
Add the can of mandarin oranges with juice, the carrot strips, juice of two oranges and 1/2 C cold water.
Stir, let set in a bowl or mold of choice in the refrigerator.
Blend the topping ingredients well.
