Cupcakes are running out, 'panic buy' - is the witty message written on an A-board outside a Kendal shop.
The statement, poking fun at the Prime Minister's advice relating to petrol last month, has been creating a laugh amid shoppers.
Sweet Creations' owner Tamar Guntrip said it has been pulling in the crowds to her shop.
She said: "I'm not really into politics but I thought it was quite a funny idea," said Mrs Guntrip who sells a range of cupcakes from chocolate to cookies.
"I have seen people stopping and laughing at the sign."
