I want to avoid those nasty looking grease marks I always seem to leave on the cake board. I am making a baby shower cake and have wrapped regular cardboard cake boards with soft pink wrapping paper and I wondered if there was a trcik to not leaving marks, or if I'm doing something wrong with my butter cream in the first place or is it because I'm in Arizona and everything gets reduced to a greasy spot icon_smile.gif

You should wrap the boards in something that won't absorb the grease. There are foil papers that Wilton (and other cake suppliers) sell. There are also some fancier foil wraps in the floral section of the craft store. Some people use contact paper, some use fondant. It's whatever you prefer truly.

When I use a cake board I find that the freezer paper that a person uses to wrap meat in does real good. I use the shiny side and if I get any frosting on it,it just wipes right off without any spots
