I always wrap my cakes in saran wrap while cooling in the fridge, but realized today I don't have any ... is there something other people use to keep the moistness in while cooling in the fridge?
Almost all garbage bags now come impregnated w/insectiside 
Melvin01 I notice you quickly added to your post
Foil very quickly developes pinholes so it's not 'air-tight'; a,lso there is a chemical reaction bweteen food & foil that 'eats' the foil again developing holes that most people cannot see but allows air in.

I'm sorry, but I googled this and I don't find this to be the case, at least not here in the US. There are some patents looking to do this, but I can't find a major manufacturer who impregnates their bags with insecticide. If they did, I'm sure that it would be prominently displayed on the box--as an added feature for which they'd charge more money (the ones I did find are 80 bags for $48 
)
I did find good news at Glad--their 4 gallon, small garbage bags ARE approved for food storage ! Directly from their website:
"The only type of our garbage and trash bags that is currently approved for food storage is the GLAD Small Garbage Bag (4 gallon capacity). This is clearly indicated on each carton.
Our other trash and garbage products are made from plastic resins that are not recommended for food storage use. Of course, the resin used for GLAD Food Storage Bags has been approved by the FDA for contact with foods."

Well then how come all the 'kitchen garbage can bags' I have used smell of insectiside?
I am very glad to hear GLAD's bag is safe to use!
Thanks for checking that out for us.

Oh, I agree, they sure do smell like insecticide, but it's probably just because plastics and insecticides are all made from/or include petroleum distillates. The distillates in the insecticides are the materials that carry the bug killer, not acutally the killer itself.
I've had to put very large cakes that will be frozen into garbage bags. I box the cake, cover the box with saran wrap, cover it again with aluminum foil, and then put it in the garbage bag--not my favored way of handling things, but it's the way I feel certain that no odors/air/ice/water will get anywhere near the cake.

,,,,, box the cake, cover the box with saran wrap, cover it again with aluminum foil, and then put it in the garbage bag-........
Well I certainly can see if you do all that. My thought was just putting the *cake* directly inot the garbage bag -- sure don't recdomment that
thanks for the suggestions everyone ... I ran up to a party store and bought some saran wrap from there ...
Sorry, but i can't help but laugh. 
All that debate over garbage bags, and then she just runs out and buys more suran wrap. I nearly wet myself laughing. hehehe

glad I could make someone laugh! I waited for some answers, but decided it would be faster to just run up to the corner market and grab some ... but it was interesting reading!
