  3. Place dough on a floured surface and roll into 1/2 cm thick rectangle. Take 2 tablespoons of melted margarine and brush over the surface of the dough.

  4. Whisk the white sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a bowl and then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the margarine brushed dough.

  5. Roll the dough around filling to form a log; then cut the log into approximately 16 piece segments.

  6. Bake the rolls in oven at 200°C for 20 - 25 minutes.

  7. With an electric beater, beat the cream cheese, margarine and vanilla essence together until there are no lumps. Then add icing sugar and mix until the frosting is smooth.
