Hi Daring Kitchen readers!! My name is Kara from Happy When Not Hungry. I am honored to share a tasty, seasonal recipe with you. Hope you enjoy!

Spring has officially arrived here in the Washington, D.C. Metro Area and so have the farmer's markets!! The farmer's market I go to in Old Town Alexandria is actually open year-round, but I just went this past weekend for the first time this season to check out what they have. When I saw the beautiful red/pinkish stalks of rhubarb I knew I had to bake something delicious with them. I love rhubarb and I owe this love to the fact that my parents have a gigantic rhubarb bush at home. Every year, my Mom makes rhubarb jam, strawberry rhubarb pie, etc. I decided to bake a Rhubarb Cardamom Upside Down Cake.

Mention France to anyone outside of the country and Paris will immediately jump to mind: the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower, her panoply of restaurants, the Mona Lisa and Romance with a capital R. Or Provence with her fields of fragrant lavender, her quaint villages and her rich, vivacious garlic-kissed Mediterranean cuisine. Short on time and dollars, few tourists venture outside of these well known, well-trod vacation spots. But France is a network of wonderful cities all connected by the greatest train system in the world, and each city, town or village offers some hidden beauty, a wonderful mystery and a fabulous story.

True, these words may not have been uttered with the best of intentions but when taken out of their original context, they can bring a smile to most everyone's face. My love affair with cake has been lifelong, it discriminates against no cake...I will bake them all. My talents, however, have limited me to mainly amateurish looking iced cakes, a pastry bag is not my friend. My dreams of perfectly piped scallops, scrollwork and roses never really panned out. The artist in me cried out, "why?". The concepts were there I just could not get them onto paper - or in this case, cake. I pondered this over a wedge of chocolate cake and this thought occurred to me, "perhaps it is not the artist but the medium". It was then that I discovered Fondant.
