Using a small, sturdy knife, pry out the coconut meat from the shell. It will come out in pieces, but try to keep them as large as possible. Using a swivel vegetable peeler, peel the outer brown part from the coconut meat. Then, shred it with a cheese grater (rotary or standing) or a food processor fitted with the fine shredding blade.

Can you substitute flaked coconut for shredded coconut in a recipe?

If the coconut is a fine flake, I think you possibly could. But, since the canned coconut is sweeter, and more moist, there may be some difference in the moistness of the cake. As for the sweetness: the traditional icing for an Italian Cream Cake is rather sweet anyway, which could compensate for the sweeter taste of canned coconut, and that may actually taste better than canned coconut. I would certainly give it a try, but probably not at a time when I am making that particular recipe for a special ocassion.
