Police described the scene as 'mayhem', with one shopper taken to the QEQM suffering from a sprained ankle.
Caroline Gisby, who owns Cake Expectations in Margate Old Town, said: 'We put a sign in the window saying that there would be no more cupcakes until the New Year, and the place just erupted. I've never seen anything like it.'
Despite being offered more seasonal alternatives such as mince pies and Christmas cake, annoyed shoppers went on the rampage, with some even descending on Morrisons when a rumour spread that there were still cupcakes available in the store.
Shopper Josh, who recently moved to Margate from Hoxton in London, said: 'It was a bloody disgrace. I've never known there to be a shortage of cupcakes in Hoxton. Margate is in danger of being labelled a tinpot town if it can't get its act together.'
However, the ugly mood dissipated later in the morning after police with loud hailers announced that an emergency shipment of cupcakes was on its way from Bluewater.

Is this a fairy cake story lol. You are joking.
Angloway Media (2013) Ltd doesn't exist
Really? You don't say?
I invested heavily in the shares of a cup cake manufacturing company only to find there is not a grain of truth in this story and cup cake sales, along with the shares, have actually fallen.
Seeing The Daily Thanet made me think of The Daily Planet which in turn made me think of TDC's webcast of their 5 Dec council meeting which looks like it was transmitted from Mars.. The picture quality is simply dreadful. Typical Thanet Council costing millions yet producing dismal substandard shite.
Anon 4.59 I think you will find that pictures from Mars are a lot clearer. Who bought the recording set up for the council, lets see the receipts.
I can exclusively reveal that there was indeed a run on cupcakes over the weekend. In the absence of proper regulation, the cup-cake franchise had been allowed to expand way beyond its capacity to support itself. SpongeBob Osborne, the chancer and egg-checker was forced to step in to support the sponge and prevent it from collapsing. Each household in the UK is now in debt to the tune of 150 cup-cakes. Mr. Stirling of Stevens Way said: "Why did we have to bail out the irresponsible t*ss*rs, who got themselves into this mess? Why couldn't we just let them go bust and give the cup-cakes to people who needed them?"
Dull but better than the car park crap. Who are the idiots posting on this shit as though it was comedy gems?
Fuck off knob end.
How about that for a comedy gem! Ha! I'm on fire!
in answer to 5.11pm, we the people bought the councils video kit and everything else they buy. Who was it bought from? I was going to suggest Poundland but was worried Poundland would sue.
Following on from yesterdays revelation that the checking of food standards by Thanet Council is somewhat lacking it cant be a bad thing that you cant buy cup cakes in Margate. Local residents should think twice about buying any food anywhere in Thanet.
yes 9.46 sue McGonigal has been just great hasn't she
4:59, you're obviously speaking from Uranus!
