Where do you buy MCPS approved cupcakes for classroom?

Seriously, we all grew up celebrating 20-25 birthdays a year in our classroom. Not to mention Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, 100th Day, St Patty's Day and Easter. Why can't our kids at least still have their birthdays celebrated with classmates? If you don't want your kid to ever have a treat then don't allow him to participate instead of bitching and ruining the fun for others. Most of those kids will have more sugar and processed gunk in those school lunches and chocolate milk than one mini cupcake or donut. Get a grip helicopters.

OP, you can choose other items too. I bring popsicles in because my daughter's b-day is Sept 5th. They go outside the last 10min to eat them and sing happy birthday. I also have brought in brownie bites because they are nut and dairy-free. I have seen rice krispie treats, muffins or donuts in the morning, and even ice cream served at lunch.

Lots of options besides cupcakes. But for holiday parties, room parents usually do Giant cupcakes so they are okay for birthdays too.
