Hello,
Does any one have a tutorial on how to stack tiered cakes using both the boba straws and cake circles in between each tier?

No big changes using straws, you just use fewer of them, so any tutorial will work.

With dowels, it's generally 1 per 1" of cake size above [so if an 8" is going on a 12", you put in 8 dowels} but with straws it's 1 per 2" of cake size above [so in the previous example, you'd put in just 4 straws].
Cake boards are the same size as the cake. To adhere one tier to the other, I use sticky fondant on top of the straws for fondant cakes and royal icing on the straws for buttercream cakes.
