Get It Together, Bakeries

Wrecky minion Aryn took this photo last Sunday, October 23rd:
OCTOBER 23RD.
So this bakery is selling Christmas cakes two major holidays before Christmas. Which would be awesome for pranking that friend who passed out after drinking too much, but otherwise... da heck?
And if you think Christmas Creep is bad, wait'll you see Easter Creep:
A pink Easter Egg cake... made October 19th.
Because it's never too early to stock up on "decorated" egg cakes in October, you guys.
It actually gets worse when bakeries try to be seasonally appropriate:
Orange icing + crappy turtle pancake = "Fall!"
White pointy-headed "ghosts" + anything = FAIL!
Seriously, let's talk about all the ways this is a bad idea.
Oh yes, please, put them on white cupcakes. THAT HELPS SO MUCH.
Speaking of not helping, you know how all the creepy clowns in the news have McDonald's hiding Ronald and Target pulling costumes?
This was also spotted last week.

Although at least the clown is recognizable. What about this thing?
It was out last week, so... Dapper Halloween Alien? Count Unibrow? Evil Mystic Muppet?
Oooh, "Evil Mystic Muppet" would be an awesome band name.
Thanks to Aryn W., Elizabeth C., Robbie C., Anony M., Julie R., Alexa M., & Jenny E for reminding us it's just two more months 'til Christmas.

I think the Easter Egg blank is actually a "decorate your own demon/sugar skull" cake....so not a wreck (yet), just not well labelled.
I think some of these early season cakes and nonsense cakes are done on purpose! Since no one in their right mind will buy them, the bakers do it so they can bring home free dessert for their kids! That's my (unfounded) story and I'm sticking to it!
The egg shape was being marketed as a 'blank' version of the yellow face on the bottom for you to buy and create your own creepy face with. They were being sold side by side at a certain major chain. There were several uniquily decorated faces, each stranger than the next. Also, squeeee! I finally got my first pic on Cake Wrecks! So much happy!
