How To Cover Cake Board In Butter Cream

I've seen them covered in everything BUT buttercream. Fondant, paper under vinyl, etc. Even in royal icing in my Australian books. Never saw them covered in buttercream.
Surely she meant fondant ON the cake that would be eaten. No one would be eating the fondant on the board. maybe you could ask her and let her know that it will add to the design without changing the taste of the cake. You could also use modeling chocolate.
Cake supply stores. Hope you can find it, though. You're kind of out of time.
There is black contact paper that you could search for. Looks like this.

Also, places that sell photography supplies have bakground sheets for your photos in black.

You could also check out art supply stores. They have black paper for sure. I don't know where you're located, but those are the places where you would find large black paper sheets.
Hope that helps.
Make sure, if you use paper, that your cake is on a separate cake board (same size as the cake) so that your cake doesn't touch the paper, vinyl, etc.
I just found black wrapping paper at Hobby Lobby. Do you have one of those close by?
I just went to Michael's to buy a tub of black fondant and of course they were out . 
I frantically looked around the store and found some black cardstock large enough to cover the board. It may not be perfect but it is better than buttercream right?

Right! Just be sure to cover it with clear contact paper or it will get grease stained. (Next time, you can pick up black foil at your local suppy store or from the florist.)

Is this the same thing as cling wrap? Please tell me so because if I have to make another run to the store I am going to scream. 
I have already made 4 trips to the store because of items I have forgot. I am usually organized and ready to go when I start my cakes. I don't know why I am all over the place with this one. 
It's not the same thing but the cling wrap will work in a pinch.
