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?

Also resembles the puffy faced dream lady from Eraserhead. She freaks me out.
Sorry if someone else already mentioned this.
And for a low low price of $19.48 you too can have a face cake! Who's face? Who cares!
I'm not sure which is scarier... the CCC that resembles a face very vaguely.... or the creepiest television character I can imagine. I don't watch TV, but that plotline and frightening image doesn't give me much motivation to do so. Yikes!
This is my new favorite blog. Seriously.
What in holy heck *is* that?!
Wow.
That is awful.
Who would buy that? I'm not even sure what it's trying to be.

Hahaha! I know who she is but then I live in the UK and it's compulsory to watch Doctor Who here! :)
wha...wh...WHY WAS THIS EVEN MADE?!?!?
I think the purple puff thingy's are supposed to be sunglasses, LOL!
I think you were right about the drug testing!
Was it supposed to look like Cassandra or is it something else?
There... there... there are just no words for that... thing
That is very scary in its own right, but what is even more horrifying is that someone thinks that...thing...is worth $19.48.
Ha, I thought you were going to say it was the Face of Boe!
I think the name of this blog ought to be cup-cake wrecks. Not that I'm complaining.....they crack me up! Keep them coming! : )
Take the hint all you cake decorators out there, CCC's are a disaster waiting to happen.
My first thought was that it was meant to be Will Farrels' character "Mugatu" from the Zoolander movie - I wonder if Wal-mart was trying to challenge you to a "cake-off" LOL.
No, I totally saw Cassandra before you even said Dr. Who!! Tooooo funny! Love the blog - keep it comin!!!
The terribly sad thing? WalMart DOES drug screen EVERY applicant/employee - even my 65 yo mother! (when she was 65 and employed at Walmart)
the first cake looks like spiderus from 'miss spiders sunny patch' Kinda creepy.
*dies laughing* It's TOTALLY Cassandra!!!!!!! Oh My God!!!
It totally looks like her! Hmmm... I wonder what the TARDIS would look like rendered in cupcakes...
I'm sorry, but WHAT. THE. FRACK. I mean, I follow the disturbing psychology that prompts baby and pregnant belly cakes, but this is just ... weird.
Thats about the only Doctor Who episode I'v actually seen so i got the refrence at least.Still trying to figure out how to make that dalek cake...
This has become one of my favorite blogs EVER. Thanks for makin gme laugh until I cry on a regular basis!
I think maybe that purple stuff is sunglasses.
I saw that as soon as I saw the cake...I didn't remember Cassandra's name, but I instantly thought 'isn't that that stretched-out-skin lady from Dr. Who?'.
It kind of creeped me out when you saw the same.

PS: Long time reader, first time poster. LOVE this blog (and under neat that write 'it is awesome' :) )
Ya know...I just took another glance, and it kinda looks like John Travolta in Hairspray.
Looks to me like a reject from Pee Wee's Playhouse.
"What's the secret word, cakie?"
she's actually *the last* human ever.
i definitely liked her best in the doctor's body, admiring the smokin hottness that is david tennant... mmmmmm... cassandra knows where it's at.
Hmm, to me it looks a bit more like the Face of Boe...
Totally saw it.
Looks kinda like Spiderus from Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends
<.< >.> <.< >.> <.< >.>
Don't ask how I know that
Sweet baby Jesus, that's disturbing! That was more traumatic than the time I walked into a school assembly with my skirt tucked into my pantyhose.
I need this CCC to go with my Cassandra "Action" figure I got this past summer!
I love Dr Who and know exactly what you are talking about :)
I don't think I've ever been more thankful that the Wal-marts here don't have bakeries.
GENIUS !!
I'm a Dr Who fan, so I knew who that was immediately.
You Americans are way behind on your Doctor Who episodes! *Thinks back several years*
I'm gonna miss DT as the Doctor.
Dr Who? I thought it was Paris Hilton with rollers and a facial mask.
Holy crud, it DOES look like her! And I remember that chick... or what's left of her. (Not a huge Who fan, but I saw several episodes of it at a sci-fi convention a few years back.)
My five year old likes to look at the cake wrecks with me each day. She wanted me to inform everyone that its actually a really bad looking sheep cake. (LOL)
Hmmm...sad thing is, Wal-Mart does have a drug screening program.
I really, really, really, really want to know what they were going for.
Sorry, Wreckmistress. You have this one wrong. This is high art. I'm serious. Compare it to Picasso's minimalist period. This is great stuff. I'd have this at a party. Not for the kids though: they wouldn't get it.
Hey, can the submitter tell us what this was originally supposed to be? Was there a photo they tried to replicate of something? Hilarious either way.
The first thing it reminded me of was the famous cover art for the Great Gatsby - the woman's face.
Except with no tear, and some crazy... horns?
Hooray for Whoovians! :D
This post made my (and my Who-loving friends) day!
that is totally Cassandra. I'm glad that you like quality programming too.
Hahahaha! I looked at that picture and thought. That's not just a face. I know that face.
Then you mentioned Dr. Who and that was totally it. Great stuff.
As soon as I saw "Doctor Who" I immediately started debating whether it was Cassandra or the Face of Boe.
I can absolutely see the resemblance now, though at first glance I thought 'Cool! The face of Boe! ... should be greener.' : )
It took my hubby about a millisecond to say, "Hey! It's Cassandra!"
