Key Stage 1 occasionally goes through suggestions of cake-bans. Mostly because Mums just show up at the door with them, randomly. Like "Oh we've been baking!" and bring in 20 cakes for a class of 31. But like you say, how can you turn them away at that point?
Our kids tend to have sweets for birthdays, which are given out at the end of the day and mustn't be eaten on the school premises, thus giving parents some nominal control. They're quite good about allergies and things too. Pretty much most of the class would be able to tell you that L can't have nuts and M can't have Haribo because he's muslin but A can't have Haribo because he's vegetarian but they can both have Jelly Babies because they're made from something special.
