You have to buy food safe cellphane, though. Michael's sells it. Things like Contact paper are NOT food safe, and a cake should not be placed directly on it. I buy a huge roll of FDA approved cellophane at Michael's. I can then cover a cake board with whatever I want and not worry. I have used gift wrap, vinyl tablecloths, sewing patterns, comic book pages, etc. etc.

tracey1970, what section of Michael's do you find the food safe cellophane?
It's in with the gift wrap. I looked for it in the cake stuff aisles, but no dice. I found it with the other gift wraps. They have a couple of different widths of it - I believe the logo is a bagpiper or something like that.
Contact paper is not food safe, backing on it or not. I have used it to cover something on a ckae board. However, I then place the cake on a same-sized board before putting it on the Contact paper. Once you do a bottom border, you can't tell it's on another board. If something is food safe, there will be an FDA approval on it.
