Dummy/Display cakes

I am wanting to make my first display/dummy cake. I was wondering if any of you have done them yet and if so did you use royal icing or buttercream icing to stick the fondant to the dummy? Any help and tips is appreciated :-)

Shortening! If you use shortening, when you want to take everything off of the styrofoam to reuse, it just breaks clean off! No mess :-)
