One can use *anything*: foils, fzr paper; fabric; wrapping paper; mylar; etc etc. to cover your boards but.......then you have to either cover it w/contact paper, or cellophane or something that is grease proof &/OR put the cake on a same size cake board that is glued to that covering.
Wilton Fanci-Foil - works like a charm every time. It's cheaper at WAL*MART too!!!

That's exactly what I was going to say! I buy my Fancifoil at Walmart because it is so much cheaper. You could always get it at Michael's or Hobby Lobby if you were willing to use one of your 40% off coupons on it. But it's quick and easy!

That sounds good. I checked out that web site, I like that stuff. That will make a pretty board. Thanks guys for your help, I knew I could count on ya'll. 
If I wanted to do something with color to match my cake is there anything eles anyone would suggest?
foil is much cheaper at the flower factory...its a wholesale flower outlet store in Cleveland, Ohio....it starts at 4.25 for a roll. They also sell cellophane. You can order online...go to http://www.flowerfactoryinc.com/
Be careful, though--because other than Wilton Fanci-Foil (gold & silver--I believe the white has been discontinued), very few other decorative foils are foodsafe. 
If it's not marked foodsafe, then the foil may have lead in it (in particular if it's colored) and that leaches into fatty & acidic foods. There needs to be a barrier (cake board, parchment, wax paper, etc.) between the cake & the foil, if this is the case.
