Do You Allow Your Child to Eat a Muffin with Frosting?

Kindergarten teacher didn´t give the muffins that I baked to the children in the kindergarten.
My friend was angry because the muffins were the treat for the birthday celebration of her 4 years old son to his kindergarten classmates.
The teacher said that they (with helpers) couldn´t give the muffins to the kids because they have a lot of cream on top and it was not cooked. What? There was no cream on the muffins. The muffins were all topped with butter icing. Butter icing is not cooked. Where on earth was this woman residing? In the mountain?
My friend said to me than the half (15 pieces) of the muffins were brought home by the kindergarten teachers and the rest were given by my friend to the kids outside of the kindergarten campus. Of course, my friend asked the mothers if their children were allowed to eat them.
Would you not give your child a muffin with butter frosting for a special occasion?
Anyway, my friend has calm down already. She felt insulted of course. I know that the butter icing is not healthy but it is just for a birthday treat and you only have to eat 1.
Thank you for reading my rant. I really feel the same with my friend. I think she shouldn´t bring anything again in kindergarten.

Yes, it doesn´t @LindaOHio. I was imagining how happy a child could be seeing the muffins decoration.

No I wouldn’t. Why? Because it’s a school rule not treats unless it’s a class party. Birthday it’s not allowed because of food allergies lots of kids to count for with food allergies and not every parents wants to try to get things for each kid.
So the school has always said none but we can give out pencils, erasers, bubbles, stickers are okay.

@thelme55 not all places are like that. I know for where I live that is our counties school policy but each individual school can say other wise. Ours does allergy awesrness telling parents it’s easier to send none food things to share with class. My Kindergartens class does a story and you get to pick it on your birthday.

My friend didn´t know about that rule, if there is any. That is why my friend was upset yesterday. Thanks @ShyBear88

I would certainly let my kid eat one of those. Being a lover of sweets the frosting would be the best part

Yes, I think the frosting is the best part if you are a lover of sweets. Thank you @Marilynda1225

Do they have school policy to limit intake of sweet things?

In my country it's strongly adviced (and some schools have it as a rule) to not share sweets on birthdays. Just because sweets are overall not healthy and some parents don't want their kids to eat it for whatever reason. So most of the time they make something of fruits or other things.
Your friend could've/should've asked on forehand if it was (still) allowed.

The Kindergarten teachers didn´t inform the parents that this food is not allowed in the Kindergarten although they asked my friend if she would bring something for the birthday of her son celebration. that´s why my friend was disappointed. Thanks @TitiaG

It doesn't happen everyday so yeah I would.
I would feel offended too if I was your friend.

Yes, that is our reasoning, too @toniganzon.
I was also offended when my friend told me what happened. Thank you.

I would give it to my kids because I know that there's nothing in it that my kids are allergic to. My kids are also healthy they could easily metabolize all the sugar, fats, flours that are in it, I would just advice them to drink a lot of water after consuming. Perhaps the reason why it was not allowed is because not all children are the same.

Perhaps. I have no idea. Kids nowadays are fun of eating junk food. Thanks @louievill

I never let my son have a lot of sugar when he was a child as he was too active

Thank you @christina2006. A treat is not happening every day and so I would allow my child.
