I use royal icing.
I used royal icing too on the few I did in the past, I have'nt done any that are stacked yet, but I want to try this to practice for my DD's wedding next year, and after talking to a lady in my local cake decorating supply shop she advised me to use dowels as well, like you would do with cake...HTH.

I use icing to attach to the board. I take a pencil sharpener and sharpen the end of a dowel and drive it through the dummies to secure them. I recently did this for a 6 tier cake i did for a bridal fair and it didn't budge in transporting or anything. Of course with that many tiers I used multiple rods and doweled each tier after the second one. Worked great. And they were really easy to remove with a pair of needlenose pliers so you could take the cake apart and wash and reuse the dummies.

You do not need any Dowels at all. I did a five tier and drove from Minnesota to Tulsa on the cake stand and it was fine.
Hot glue on everything--works like a charm--no slippage, etc.
