A kindergarten teacher from Illinois has caused a stir on TikTok after asking parents to not bring in cupcakes for kids' birthday celebrations because the snack is too messy.
One option Brackemyer suggested was soft, frosted cookies because they're not as messy as cupcakes. (@kbcrayons /TMX) The teacher suggested ice cream cups, plus sprinkles for the kids to put on top.

"I love to celebrate birthdays in my classroom [and] I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but please don't bring cupcakes," Brackemyer said in her video, which has garnered over 2.4 million views.
