Roast the coconut in the oven on a tray until golden brown.

Watch it carefully, turn it over, and mix it until all the coconut is brown.  Let it cool off before you roll the fancy cake in the toasted coconut.

Jam Syrup:

1 cup smooth jam

Coil jam and water until syrupy. Let it cool off and roll the fancy in it and then in the roasted coconut. Add any filling of your choice, be it as per this recipe, caramel, or strawberry preserve.
