But it would have the added bonus of incriminating her hated dwarf of a brother-killer-of-mother... and that worked!
Joffrey had pretty much the same means to arrange the assassination and similar motivations to frame Tyrion for it, as Cersei did. He was also a violent, inbred psychopath, with a history of trying to impress his father, with acts of cruelty (like the kitten-incident). He'd been slapped and humiliated by Tyrion - with whom he obviously didn't get along at the best of times - for expressing indifference to the fate of Bran and grief of his family. He also hated books, and - if I recall correctly - the library was set on fire in order to facilitate the attack on Bran.
And although Cersei certainly is a moron - Joffrey is a bigger and less experienced one, so his half-assed plan would be way more likely to go wrong. Just look at what happened because of Ned Stark's "impromptu" execution - another example of boy-king taking the initiative, with lamentable consequences.
So, while it's possible Cersei planned the assassination - I think Joffrey is the more likely culprit.
Joffrey's fucked up, yes... but I think Cersei had more to gain from Bran's death and Tyrion's involvement in that death.
