I just found acetate at Pearl Paint an arts store. I ended up buying mylar though since it's a bit stronger but still flexible. How about the sheets used to make stencils? You can find them at AC Moore and Michaels.

One really nice thing about using the freezer paper is that you can measure around your cake, then cut the paper to the correct length. I folded the paper in into thirds lenghtwise to make it easier to handle. Plus, of course, you can buy it at grocery stores and Wal-Mart!
