Use a spatula to spread mix evenly onto dough and roll lengthwise, sealing ends. Set on a well greased cookie sheet and cut 1 inch slits in the top. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar and milk. Drizzle over warm roll and top with remaining cherries and almonds. Serve warm or chilled.
