How do I cover the cake board? They are the Wilton ones. Do I just wrap it in some pretty paper then cover with Saran Wrap??

thanks!

You can buy fanci-foil made by Wilton for covering boards or, what I do, is buy some matching wrapping paper and cover the board and then cover the board and paper with clear shelf paper so the wrapping paper doesn't get all greasy. Hope this helps!!

Wilton makes "fancy foil" for covering cake boards. If you use foil or plastic wrap it will most likely tear when you cut the cake and you could possibly get pieces of it in your cake. The fancy foil does not tear easily and will withstand cutting and serving the cake. the down side is it comes in gold and silver only. There have been many discussions on CC about what is "food safe" for covering boards, you may want to search for those old posts if you're interested. Some people use gift wrap covered by clear contact paper, but there is no consensus whether that is food safe.

oh, I hadn't thought about the saran wrap ripping. The contact paper is a good idea. I guess if I were to wash it off, let it dry then put the cake on it it might be "food safer".

I have done the wrapping paper and it did get all greasy, again, for the neighbor so she didn't care!

Thanks for the ideas Neomommy and trakarbart !!
