The large painting of pastries created by students and displayed over Leavitt's Country Bakery in Conway, New Hampshire is at the centre of a legal battle pitting a zoning ordinance against freedom-of-speech rights. Photo: AP

Bakery owner Sean Young was thrilled when high school art students covered the big blank wall over his doorway last spring with a painting of the sun shining over a mountain range made of sprinkle-covered chocolate and strawberry donuts, a blueberry muffin, a cinnamon roll and other pastries.

The display got rave reviews, and Young looked forward to collaborating with the school on more mural projects at his roadside bakery in Conway, New Hampshire.
