Do I Wrap A Cake While Still Warm Or Wait Until It Cools?

I can't frost until later tonight and I don't want to draw the moisture out but I'm not sure when to wrap.
Thanks so much,
Jamie
If it already baked, I would let it cool and then wrap it. If you are going to ice it later tonight, you could also just cover it lightly with a clean tea cloth. It will stay plenty moist.

I always wrap the cake while it is still warm. Usually right after I take it out of the pan.
Let it cool! You don't want condensation to form on the inside and make it sticky or soggy.
If it is just a few hours or over night I just lightly cover the a clean large kitchen towel.
I don't wrap a warm cake, only cooled.
Thanks Ladies!
You're the best!
I saw that happen last time I did it.I wrapped them warm and a little later there was condensation all over the wrap.I didn't eat it but I wondered if it had affected the cake or not.

I have also heard that it is unsafe because it introduces too much water into the cake and bacteria feeds on the water or something like that so my policy is better safe than sorry! I let it cool then wrap.
