Help stacking several cake layers?!


Question: I am making the wedding cake for a friend's wedding. She has decided she doesn't want fondant icing, so it will just be buttercream. I've been looking for good directions about how to make a cake with 4 or 5 layers - do I need a certian kind of seperator between each layer to keep the icing from sticking and looking bad when the cake is cut? I know I need dowels to support the cake, I just still don't quite understand how the stacking physically works. links to diagrams or videos would help a lot too. thanks!

oh, and the hope is for the largets layer to be 14 inches with each layer 2 or 4 inches smaller ending with a 4 or 6 inch top tier.
