TV spot sweetens baker's dream
Before it was devoured by partying children, the cake was 64 inches in diameter and included 37 animals and circus people carved from chocolate. It included 32 full-size sheet cakes. Francis estimates it was worth about $4,000. With the exception of the caboose, everything was edible.by Charlotte Ferrell Smith, Daily Mail staff

BARBOURSVILLE, W.Va.--A 300-pound, circus-themed birthday cake made in West Virginia will be featured on national television tonight.
Sweet Confections Bakery in Barboursville created the cake that will be on "Outrageous Kid Parties" at 9:30 p.m. on TLC. The show will air again at 12:30 a.m. March 15.
The cake was delivered last December to Ashland, Ky., for a party for siblings, Jasmine, who was turning 7, and Carson, who was turning 9.
While the cake was devoured long ago by a bunch of children, it can still be seen on TLC through cable and satellite nationwide. The 30-minute episode is titled "Jasmine and Carson's Circus Party."
Sweet Confections Bakery opened last October and has since lured a steady crowd of customers with its custom-made cakes, cookies, pies, pastries and various treats, including no-sugar added goodies.
Proprietor Tina Francis said opening a bakery has been her dream since childhood.
