I've been asked where to buy glycerine (it will be needed by anyone wanting to make their own icing for Christmas cakes.)
You won't find it in the supermarket - you will get it in the chemist!
Glynis
Betty Nuttall says
A long time ago I tried to buy some at the pharmacy,the assistant said she would order it for me.When I went to pick it up I was given a hospital style drip with the relevant tubes !!As I said it's a long time ago,perhaps it's different now.
Ginny says
Having decided to revert to fondant icing this year, I bought it in the pharmacy in Gaillac yesterday. 2.00€ for enough for Delia Smith's 8" round cake and I suspect her chocolate torte as well.

When Delia came out with her recipe, the chemist was the only place you could buy glycerine and I suspect that it is still a standard item over here because so many pharmacys make things like hand creams.
