I buy rolls of colored foil from my cake supply store. it comes in lots of colors and is relativly inexpensive. A roll of 50ft long by 20in wide costs under $10.00
I currently have about 10 different colors right now.

Is the foil safe? I have looked at a lot of websites and it mentions florist foil in a lot of colors but cake foil in only white and silver. Is florist foil food safe? I do not know of a cake supply store near me, I usually have to order everything online.

You know, now I'm not sure if it's safe for food use. Since they sell it at all 4 cake supply stores near me, I think it would be. They all sell the same brand, Guardsman.
I never questioned it. It says on the wrapper "pure aluminum foil". I've been using it for 15+ years.

D-dar,
Don't set your cake directly on the contact paper; it is not food safe. However, you can set your cake on a cake board attached to the contact-paper-covered board.

Place your cake on its own cake board (same size as the cake) then attach that cakeboard to the decorative one. I use duct tape to attach mine. Add your boarder after you attach to the decorative to cover up any of the board you can see. HTH

I use wrapping paper and cover it in food safe cellophane, available in rolls at Michael's.
