Face Time On CW
November 13, 2008 This is so exciting, everyone: I had no idea there were Doctor Who fans in the Walmart bakery! Check this out:
How cool is that, huh? It's totally Lady Cassandra O'Brien Dot Delta Seventeen!
[crickets chirping]
What?
[Pin dropping. Loudly.]
What's with all the blank looks? Are you guys telling me you don't know who Cassandra O'Brien Dot Delta Seventeen is? Really?
Oh.
Well, here, she looks like this:
See, she's a human from the future, and she's had so much plastic surgery that there's nothing left but her face. Get it? (Really, I don't see how you guys survive without this kind of quality programming in your lives.)
Ok, now go look at that "cake" again, and tell me it's not her. Go on.
Hm? Oh. Yeah, I guess you do have a point: she doesn't have eyebrows. Or a nose. Or weird purply hair tufts. Or antennae. But if that's not supposed to be Cassandra O'Brien Dot Delta Seventeen, then I'm going to go out on a limb here and say maybe the Walmart in question should consider employee drug screening. Not that I'm implying anything by that, of course - nosirree.
Thomas R., you thought it was her, too - right?

Lady Cassandra lives! First there was the Dalek cake-off, now this. I'm in Doctor Who/Cake Wreck Heaven. Can we have an Ood cake, now? Pretty please? Or at least a Tardis?
OK, I was CW fan before, but your Doctor reference just pushed you even higher up the charts :)
Before I read your words, "Moisturize Me" went thru my head. After, I wondered where (chocolate) Chip was.
ohh, i have a birthday suprise for my Dr who obsessed friend! yey wal mart crack head bakers! :)
I recognised the wondrous Lady Cassandra immediately! :) What a, umm, errr, 'interesting' wreck. Hehehehehe!!! :) Kirsten.
OMG -- thank you for totally making my day. Cake wreck + Doctor Who reference = priceless!
This cake was so scary I had to watch your post from behind the couch! I love Dr. Who - and I could immediately see Lady Cassandra. Moisturize me! Moisturize me!
oh, too funny! My 65+ yr old mom LOVES Dr Who!
Cassandra Cake! The perfect scary addition to complement the TARDIS cake at your next celebration!
Dr. Who reference FTW!
..and wow. Just wow. That thing looks like the unholy union of Lady Cassandra and the Face of Boe (hey, the Face did get pregnant...)
Okay, the Dr. Who image was even more disturbing than the CCC, but I would have to agree that that is in fact what the Walmart bakery had to be going for.
Moisturize me! Moisturize me!
I'm with you, it does look like Cassandra.
CW and Doctor Who together in one post?! My day is already complete.
I cannot think of a more fitting epitaph for Lady Cassandra than a CCC. Of course, there is the (admittedly very slight) chance that this is actually a very clever and precise depiction of her in mid-explosion (those ignorant of all things Who: Lady Cassandra needed to be constantly moisturized, because she had no moisturizing system left in her... body. When she didn't get moisturized for a few minutes, things got a little bit 'splody).
It's official! You are obsessed with CCCs. I think you should change the name of your blog to Cupcake Wrecks! :o)
Hm, she could be flatter. She's got a little chin sticking out.
I guess I'll admit that I thought it was Cassandra. All it needs is a few robotic spider cupcakes.
I LOVE Dr. Who and as soon as I read about you saying this cake was from Dr. Who I KNEW who you were going to say because it looks just like her. How funny!
*snrk*
Yep, that's Cassandra alright. I have to send this one to my husband, he's the one who first made me watch Doctor Who.
I totally saw Cassandra right off the bat. YAY!
But I do have to guess that wasn't the goal.
...Someone send it to D.T. maybe?
One glance at the picture and I thought the same thing... Haha, need to lay off the doctor addiction.
YES! At least someone in America is a doctor who fan!
Yes! I know exactly what you're talking about. And that totally makes sense, too. Now I want to see a Lady Cassandra cake that is supposed to be her...
If you ask me, the CCC looks like Michael Jackson. If he had purple hair.
While it resembles Cassandra it also reminds me of Amelia Earhart (guess it's the goggles/glasses on top of her head.)
Either way...what was that crazy baker thinking? (I checked my local WM yesterday, alas no cake wrecks - darn!)
I have tried watching Dr. Who many times... and every. single. time. I've ended up watching this episode. Not quite sure how that's happened, but I got the reference.
A Dr. Who reference? I now officially have a girl crush on you.
This is just the best blog.
I thought that it looked like The Moon from The Mighty Boosh

But that doesn't explain whatever is going on at the top of its head. And The Moon has less lipaction going on too.
Lady Cassandra! That's disturbing and beautiful at the same time. Beautiful for the Who reference, of course. :)
Upon closer inspection, the thing that really wigs me out is that her eyes don't match. One iris is filled in and the other is just outlined. It's all wonky. :(
I knew it was Cassandra right away. Didn't even have to scroll down.
I'm thinking Will Ferrell in Zoolander.

I have to say I'm a little freaked out by the picture more so than the CCC, although both seem to have a few issues....
Yeah, I totally knew it was Cassandra. Props for the Who reference and the wrecks! Love it!
When I showed this to my daughter, she asked what it was, and then declared that she wanted a CCC. Much to my relief, she immediately corrected herself and said she wanted a cupcake. :)
I really wonder what the heck they were trying for if this *wasn't* intended to be Cassandra. :/ Wonder if they'll do a Slitheen cake next, that'd be pretty scary . . .
Thank you so much for spreading your love of Doctor Who!
You know, I really liked this site since I first saw it, but after a reference to the Doctor...I think it may be love.
I can't imagine what occasion would call for a cake like that...
OK, so what the heck is it *supposed* to be??? What did the person who submitted it say?
hahahaha I knew EXACTLY who you were talking about... does that make me a dork?
See, I never watched Dr. Who. I did watch In Living Color though. To me that CCC looks just like Jim Carrey as Vera Di Milo! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/JessieyWeber/VeraDiMilo.jpg
I always thought we were kindred spirits, but now I know! Same sense of humor, same sarcasm, and now same TV habits (and Dr. Who IS a habit!). Thanks for all the laughs!
LOL! YES!!! IT SOOOO LOOKS LIKE HER!!!! We are big Dr. Who fans in this household. :) That's too funny! :)
ROFLMA That is seriously freaky looking.
Only good can come of a drug test for the baker of this freaky cake.
OH MY GOD! What is that SUPPOSED to be?!
I think it looks like Frida Kahlo.
My first thought was Face of Bo. But Cassandra works too.
and you can get her in all of her detailed CCCglory for only $19.48, I'm guessing the $0.48 is for the two cupcake antennae on top!!! What a wreckalicious steal. the only word to truly describe her is NOLLU which blogger must have thought of too since that is the security word verification for this post!

Lady Cassandra? I immediately thought of the little adipose babies in Partners in Crime, the first Doctor Who episode with Donna as a regular character. Those were some cute aliens.
Looks like that ugly white spider guy on Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends. Ewwww.
It looks like Spiderus from the Nick Jr. show Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends, but with out legs.
