Contac paper comes on rolls. I think it's mostly used as a shelf liner. It has an adhesive backing and comes in different patterns. It also comes in clear, you can usually find it in the department stores, Walmart, Target, etc. in the housewares section. HTH
I have been covering my boards plastic tablecloth ( the ones used for birthday parties) for 10 years. They are so inexpensive to use and come in so many different colors. I just use heavy duty packaging tape to tape them down.
Are they water proof? meaning if they will keep the moist of juices from getting to the board?
Can I use Regular wrapping paper?
I'm going to be making a Nemo cake for my sons birthday. I have blue wrapping paper, but if thats a no no, then I'll have to find something else.
Thanks

I use wrapping paper to wrap my cake boards, but I use a clear food grade cellophane over that. Works everytime!

Totally waterproof...they make a really pretty and inexpensive backdrop for the cakes. The colors are endless.

Thank you! I will sure give it a try!
I love to cover my cake boards with wrapping paper It gives the cake a more dramatic look. I also use clear celophane over the wraping paper. It gives the wraping paper a glossy look, is food safe, and nothing soaks through. 
Works perfectly every time!
I use the plastic tableclothes most of the time as well. They are so easy to find in tons of colors and easy to wipe.
If you don't mind, where do you purchase your clear, food safe celophane? Thanks!!
You can buy celophane anywhere. Wal-mart, Hobby lobby, Michael's. Any store that carries wrapping paper or crafts, those are the two depts. I've seen them in.
I've seen celophane at Michael's -- Martha Stewart was like $1.00 a roll-- but I wasn't sure about the food safety issue.
WoW! you guys always have such great ideas. I ran out of the pretty foil you can cover the boards with the other day and tried fondant however the humidity was 85% and it would not dry it was awful. I wish I had seen this thread earlier I am going to stock up on the plastic tablecloths.
Thanks
