Then, you can either use a thinset mortar on the backer board, and the cultured stone pieces, or construction adhesive.

Piece of cake.

However the base cabinets can be attached using metal drywall screws or lag bolts. Since the countertop will put weight on these they really wont go anywhere, the wall cabinets are the main concern. you can try to use metal stud screws and lag bolts on them as well.
