For a more intense coconut flavor, lightly toast the flaked coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown before using. Feel free to substitute other nuts, such as pecans or almonds, for the walnuts. If you don't have candied cherries, dried cranberries or raisins make a good substitute. For easier slicing, let the log sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before cutting.
