Every time I do a BTC, the paper ripples underneath and the transfer is rippled then also. 
I tape it down as flat as I possible can!
I have tried parchment paper and wax paper.
I use Cali's recipe for the frosting.
Any ideas?
I don't use wax paper, because for some reason I can't tape it down. I use saran wrap, because it is more see-throughable (if that's even a word!)

I stressed over this forever too, tried every brand of waxed paper, etc.
But what I found worked best for me was this:
Do your transfer as normal, flip it out onto your cake and let it sit for awhile to thaw out and crust, then use Viva paper towels to smooth out the whole surface just as you would a regular cake surface. I use a fondant smoother tool with it and apply a bit of pressure while smoothing.
Be very sure that you've let it sit long enough to crust, or else the paper towel will pull up your transfer and make a mess of it.
Good luck! Hope this works for you as well as it has for me!!

I have used a clear plastic sheet protector if the transfer is not too large. I can slide the image right inside and slide it out to see how the image looks. I tape the sheet protector to my glass cutting board for stability and freeze it right on there. Hope that is helpful!
The sheet protector is a good idea! And I'll try the saran wrap too - I'm afraid it would be too frail?
I don't think that Cali4dawn's buttercream really crusts much though, does it?
I went to Lowes and got a clear board, I don't remember what its called, but Its probably about 11x20 or even bigger; so I tape the picture on the bottom side, and tape the saran wrap on the top. You can look at my pictures; I did both the fairy cake and the baseball cake, as well as the batman cake, with icing transfer, and used saran wrap, and it worked fine. I don't buy the cheapie brand, though; I use Glad.
