Make a Hole in the Mushroom Caps

Once the meringue is baked and fully cool, use a toothpick to carve a small hole in the bottom of a mushroom cap. Poke the toothpick into the center of the bottom of the cap, and rotate it several times to increase the size of the hole. You want the hole to be large enough to fit the tip of the mushroom stem, but not large enough to cause the cap to tilt or fall off the stem.
