Sugar paste icing is a sweet, edible sugar dough, typically made from sucrose and glucose. It is sometimes referred to as sugar gum or gum paste. Look for a margarine with a high fat content, ideally over 75%. Otherwise, the high water content of the margarine will affect your bake.

However, you could replace the self-raising flour with a gluten-free self-raising flour. I always recommend using a good quality brand, which will usually be made from a blend of different flours such as rice flour, and oat flour, raising agents, of course, and usually a binding agent such as xanthan gum.

Take a completely flat board or plate, at least 25cm in diameter and spread a thin layer or frosting onto the center. This will help stop your cake from sliding around during decoration.
