You might want ask someone at the grocery store if they stock cake flour.
A good store should be able to tell you if they have it but are just
currently out. I find it surprising you cannot find it anywhere. I'm
assuming the 3 supermarkets were owned by different companies. If the
parent company is the same then you might find they all stock the same
thing. For example, I'd try a Loblaws, Dominion, No Frills and Whole Foods
Market. Between the four all always find what I'm looking for.

I have used flour for "cake & pastry" and it worked out well. I'd guess
that pastry flour should work okay for you.
