You don't HAVE to use the recipe with glycerine (which, by the way people, is used in icing to hold in moisture and keep it from setting up rock-hard). There's loads of other recipes you can find for the icing, which I'm guessing is for the Sachertorte. In that case, you can melt chocolate (7 oz semisweet) with a little butter (2 tbsp) in a double boiler, let it cool, and use that. Just as good but with easy-to-find ingredients. If it's still too solid, reheat it and mix in some corn syrup.

I just asked a personal chef that I know and she said she has never heard of using glycerin in food.
It's used for lip glosses and soaps.
Who told you that you need glycerin for a cake? Not unless it's a urinal cake!

Glycerine is frequently used in fondant icings. I have seen it at the craft store (sometimes it is in the aisle with the soap making supplies, and sometimes with the cake/candy making supplies). If you have a shop in town that sells baking supplies, they would probably have it, too.

Exactly what type of "cake" are you making?
Never seen glycerine used in any dessert cake recipe.

The last time, I bought some from a pharmacist. You may give them a call to ask if it's available or not
