Happy TARDIS Day!

The 11th Doctor and Pudsey with the TARDIS

It’s T-Day today! Not the American Thanksgiving, of course, which is tomorrow but something just as awesome…

Happy TARDIS Day!!  48 years ago today, the iconic British show Doctor Who — which you may know I am a  downright obsessive fangirl of I like a lot — debuted on BBC. And in 2008,  two fans decided to declare it a “Who-liday” dedicating it to the Whovian fandom.

Whovians are a darned crafty and creative lot and today, they’re sharing and exchanging Doctor Who themed crafts and stuff to celebrate. Aside from my take on the 11th Doctor’s Fish Fingers & Custard, I am afraid that I  don’t have anything new of my own to share. (Honestly, did not know it was TARDIS Day until, oh, about 5:00PM yesterday! This is my first TARDIS Day. Forgive me.) I did consider making up some TARDIS sugar cookies but, alas, real life commitments come first.

Luckily,  I have an entire Pinterest board dedicated to finding awesome Whovian related stuff so I can share some food related awesomeness by others

May I present, the TARDIS teapot. This is so damn British, it almost hurts.If you’d like to buy one, they’re handmade to order by jadeflower on Etsy.

This is quite possibly the most awesome wedding cake ever. If I could convince my husband to marry me for a third time — yes, we’ve technically been married twice to each other –  we’d have this as our wedding cake.

Keep on going for more awesome Whovian delights…

Speaking of cakes, believe it or not, this is an edible TARDIS cake. If you click through on just one image on this post, let it be this one. The work and detailing that this cake maker did on this cake is nothing short of in-freaking-credible. I half expect the Doctor himself to pop out of the cake, it is that well constructed.

And let’s not forget Bakingdom‘s fabulous Doctor Who Weeping Angel cookies and her awesomesauce apron. (Seriously, I worship this blogger. She takes geekery baking to a whole new level.)

And while this isn’t hand or fanmade, what better vehicle to keep such cookies (well, except for maybe the angels themselves — wouldn’t want them in the TARDIS, would we?) there’s always this cookie jar from ThinkGeek. They’ve even gotten into the spirit with a coupon code. : ) Use code TARDISDAY for $5 off $30+ or $10 off $50+ orders, good through 11:59pm ET 11/24/11!! (BTW, this is not an affiliate link. Just sharing what came with the TG newsletter.)
