Cellophane and Pastry Cones

I am a home baker who is your biggest fan here in Canada, but I am needing a little bit of guidance. I am searching and searching the Net for a supplier of the cello squares that you use for doing chocolate work, but can not find any that have a good quality, food safe cello square to offer. Is there any way you would share a name or contact for this item, from your experience? I don't want to go ahead and make an order only to find out they are just cheap and too supple to make a good tip for the decorating cones.

You can order cello sheets from http://www.cellodepot.net/ . I recommend the 12"x12" clear sheets. Compared to our local wholesaler they are a little pricey due to a $10 dollar surcharge for small orders. It also may cost more to ship to Canada.
The cellodepot website says the sheets are good for wrapping food and cookies. I use them to make my pastry cones and for my "Chocolate Method" designs. To be on the safe side, I do not recommend remelting the chocolate, once it is in the pastry cone, in the microwave.
