Bakery chain Cake Box, which opened a store in Kingston back in January, has created a special David Attenborough-inspired birthday cake to celebrate his 100th birthday, with £1 from every unit sold being donated to WWF.

The limited-edition cake has been designed as a tribute to Sir David's life and work, marking a century spent bringing the wonders of the natural world into British homes.

Available for a limited time, the cake celebrates the broadcaster with a design inspired by Sir David's landmark birthday and his lifelong passion for the planet.

The tribute has been created by Cake Box Kingston-upon.

The cake will be available from Cake Box Kingston fromtoday (Friday, 8 May) to Sunday, 10 May, priced at £29.99.

Sukh Chamdal, CEO and founder of Cake Box, said: "Sir David Attenborough is part of the fabric of British life, and his long association with south-west London makes this a fitting local tribute.

"He has helped generations see the natural world differently, and this is our small way of celebrating his 100th birthday.

"We hope customers enjoy the cake and help support WWF's work protecting wildlife and the natural world. It feels like a fitting way to mark such a special occasion - a little slice of life on Earth."
