I've placed royal icing flowers on a butter cream cake and had no issues. I don't know about a collar...

Gail, I just did an image search for run out collars and after really looking them over, I really think that it would be possible to make a gum paste cut out first in whatever design you wanted to do, let it set up and dry bone hard, then go back over it and do the run off outlining with the royal icing and let that set up a bit, and then go back and do the run out with the royal icing to get the smooth effect, and then let it totally dry before picking up for placement. I'm not totally sure if this would work or not, since the royal icing would be damp and could cause the gum paste to get all sticky, but if it did work, at least there would be a stable base under the royal icing.

I don't know that a collar was ever meant to be on butter cream. I think the fat would break the collar down and it would really break then. But, I'm no expert on it, that's for sure.

I'm sure you could use it Gail. You wouldn't be able to eat it though. The run out is where you first make your outline with royal, and then fill it all in with royal and then let the darn stuff dry hard. That's where the breakage comes in. Big PAIN in the butt.

I've never done one, Gail, but I have done other things using the run out method with royal icing. It's a pain in the butt. They are so darn fragile and you have to make several for the breakage possibility.
