jobartwo, I am sitting here this very minute and covering my cake boards in a wedding wrapping paper for a 50th anniversary cake I am dong tomorrow!! I love wrapping paper! I then cover the board with clear contact paper. It really enhances the look of the cake.
Oh gosh, not the contact paper question again. LOL Do a search for contact paper and you'll find lots of posts about it... 
Wrapping paper is great.......................my only question is this...........how do you get the clear contact paper to go on smooth?????? Everytime I have my wrapping paper all nice and neat and then when I put on the contact paper it gets all wrinkled. Its on the roll and won't exactly lay flat.
And to answer that other question...no I am not questioning the safety of contact paper...I just want to know how to use it properly. 
O.K. I am not a food scientist nor do I work for the FDA. I read all the posts about safety, etc. What I am using is clear shelf liner paper (could not find the contact paper here) that I bought at Target. It does NOT smell like vinyl. In fact I tasted some (a lick) and it did not taste funny and I have not died YET> 
As for application, I cover my boards completely with my wrapping paper (taping the edges on bottom), then lay this on my clear paper and cut it so I can tuck and press it on the bottom. I do also tape the edges on the contact paper to get a nice flat edge on bottom. By putting the wrapping paper on first, I think that will solve your problem of wrinkles. I have taken my contact paper and after removing the backing paper, folded an edge under on each side to hold it to the counter until I can get my board on it. Press, tuck, and tape, and there you have it! I always wipe the finished board with a damp paper towel. Have you ever thought about all these cardboard circles? Are they produced in a sterile environment? Does anyone clean the machinery or do they wear gloves in production? Just thinking out loud...
Sorry for the long post, I am a detail person. Hope this helps someone.
Keep on caking!!
