Ann Brackemyer, a kindergarten teacher in Illinois, has shared her “unpopular opinion” about birthday cupcakes in a viral TikTok video. She advises against bringing cupcakes to school because they create a mess and are often not eaten by the kids, who mostly consume the frosting. Instead, she recommends simple, easy-to-manage store-bought treats like cookies, miniature doughnuts, or Little Debbie Cosmic Brownies, which are popular in her classroom. Brackemyer also notes that individual ice cream cups with sprinkles were a big hit with her students.
