Cockermouth Sweet and Fudge shop has opened a cafe.

The Main Street shop is owned by Julie Watson.

She said: "I have been planning this for the past six months. We have had an overhaul and are expanding our range of fudge.

"I wanted to create somewhere that people could come for a little bit of indulgence, a special treat. We won't be selling any savoury foods."

She has opened the cafe in time for the town's Taste Cumbria food festival, which takes place tomorrow and Sunday. 

The cafe is offering fudge hot chocolate drinks and a selection of cupcakes, cakes and tray bakes supplied by Cathy's Cupcakes.
