Royal icing hardens while buttercream doesn't. If you're going for durability than royal icing. However, buttercream tastes better, is easier to eat and unless it is unbearably hot out, will stand up ok. If you're going to do all of Elmo in icing then I'm with Indydebi, go with buttercream.

WOW! I hope they paid for mileage. I used to live in Ft. Stewart GA. So I know how hot it can be.
