Plastic Wrap

After canvassing all the local markets for the old-style Saran, with no luck, I tried every other wrap I could find. I knew, from working for Reynolds Metals Company many years ago, that wraps other than Saran had microscopic airholes that prevented produce from spoiling and were not intended for wrapping things airtight in the freezer. Stretch-Tite (see Equipment Sources) is currently the best plastic wrap available. It clings tightly to the bowl or whatever else I need to wrap, but it is not impermeable and therefore not suitable for freezing cakes. However, its manufacturer also produces a wrap designed for the freezer called Freeze-Tite. Not only is it significantly thicker, it is also wider (15 inches). The manufacturer assures me that it is almost as impermeable as the old-style Saran. Now I can stop mourning.
