Daycare does. From what coworkers say, the school district does, but they discourage sugary treats of any kind and encourage veggie trays or something of the like.
Only store bought, unopened with labels here. In my actual district (where I teach) sweets are ok (I wish they weren't)...I love sweets but 22 birthday treats add up both financially and in terms of calories for families and students.
The preschool I use to work at had to be store bought and only from one grocery stores bakery because it was Kosher. I really didn't mind because Publix bake goods are the best.
I hate that! Yes, cupcakes have made childhoods LOVELY in the past. That's why heart disease and diabetes are now costing people a zillion dollars in health care and medicine forty years later, lol.
Maybe I'm missing your sarcasm, but I'm pretty sure birthday cupcakes are not the reason for America's diabetes and heart disease. Even if a kid had 24 kids in their class, that's just 2 cupcakes a month. I think it's the sugary and fatty foods that they eat on a regular basis that are more of the problem. If kids eat cupcakes on a special occasion, that's fine IMO.
DS is in a home daycare, but I send whatever I want. Sometimes DCP doesn't feed him the food I send if she disapproves for some reason, like if she thinks it's too spicy or a choking hazard.
Our daycare is 6 weeks - pre-K and they have a blanket policy about no foods from home after age 1 due to some severe allergies. They have catered breakfasts/lunches/snacks brought in daily. Not sure what they do for birthdays, though.
Six years of infertility and loss, four IUIs, one IVF and one very awesome little boy born via med-free birth 10.24.13.
Actually I feel kind of torn about this re: food allergies. My child is exposed to her allergens whether homemade food is allowed anyway, since she's allergic to so many things. However, homemade means I can bring things she can eat and therefore can participate. A no treats policy addresses the fitting in, but party pooper!
I've had students in the past who have had severe allergies or diet choices and I allowed those parents to send in treats (homemade or store bought) that I stored and pulled out when we were having a treat. One mom made her own chocolate and ice cream that I kept in my fridge.
I said store bought only but I forgot the policy changed and they really only let you order a cookie cake or cupcakes from the cafeteria for birthdays... which I guess is "school made?" I may be SS.

Both of my LO's schools do not allow home baked goods for parties because of kids with severe food allergies, such as my DS.
