How Long Does It Take Royal Icing To Break Down.....

if it is touching buttercream. I am going to make fence pieces out of royal but I need to stick them into a cake that will be iced in buttercream. They would need to last quite a few hours. So should I have a new game plan or will I be okay using the royal? Thanks!
As long as the royal is completely dry and the buttercream isn't very wet, the pieces should be fine for several hours.
A mreingue buttercream would probably be too wet. A shortening based or crusting buttercream would be better.
you could also make the fences out of piped chocolate.
I put royal icing things on BC all the time. I have never had a problem with them breaking down. Only one time did i notice some small spots on a color flow piece (maybe like grease spots?) But it was still very hard. I think in the classes they freak people out more than necessary about the whole "grease" thing.
