You can use parchment or even printer/copier/computer paper.....I prefer the paper.
Oh yeah, also, you can go to the hardware store and buy a paint roller. A "high density foam" roller in the paint section. They come in different sizes, they are thin foam rollers. Just wash it well and air dry. This is AWESOME! I love using it. Cheap too, I think it was about $5. So, I use my bench scraper or palette knife to get it as smooth as I can with that, then go over the cake once it has crusted like you are painting a wall, and it is as smooth as can be.
Any paper towel brand that doesn't have a print on it would do, smooth surface. Or parchment paper. And the roller method works well, but if you have a fondant "iron", that works well too. HTH
