Can You Cover Cake Boards With Parchment Paper?
Decorating By pheonix31571 Updated 14 Jun 2011 , 12:27am by Molly2

I am looking for something that I can cover cardboard because I am making my own cake boards and I have heard that contact paper is a no no. So what about parchment paper glued on the board its self?
Thanks guys

Here are a few links where this was discussed. More than parchment paper, I've heard that people use freezer paper. I haven't done it, but I've heard people say that a lot. I'm sure you can get a few ideas from these posts.

I think parchment paper will absorb grease. If you use freezer paper, shiny side out, that is a cheap and easy covering. I also like to use wrapping paper, and then a layer of clear contact paper. Yes, it's true contact paper shouldn't touch the cake, but I set the cake on its own cake board on top of the contact paper.

Awesome tips thank you so much for sharing with me


I use to use parchment paper all the time it worked great but I had trouble with tape sticking to it but what I do now is use plastic tablecloth I buy them on sale (sometimes .99) and I like to use different colors (goes with cake theme) and its plastic if I accidently get frosting on it I wipe it with a damp cloth I always have them on hand .
