Ok I have only done one so far. I am planning on doing some to take pictures of so was needing to know how do you stack them & transport. Do you just dowel them like a regular cake? Also what if the base is real cake & the others are dummies? Please help thanks

Doweling is to support the upper cakes so they dont' crush the cakes below. If they are all styrofoam, there is nothing to crush, so you don't need doweling.
If you are concerned about them sliding, I find the icing between the tiers works just fine as an adhesive to hold them together. If you are really insecure about it, place some double sided tape between the tiers (directly on the styrofoam of course...not on an ICED styrofoam).
