Zebra Butter Cake


The Mrs Ng SK Cake was made popular by Wendy of Wendyinkk.blogspot.com. This was one recipe that I tried and really loved! So earlier this week, as the school was going through EV and that my colleagues had worked so hard preparing for it, I decided to bake them a butter cake for all to share! 

It has been an easier week for me as I was not involved during EV but I was part of the PSLE Oral by serving in the waiting room. I also had the luxury to do more marking. I've always had an issue with students who can't write neatly. My buttons were pushed to the extreme when this silly boy of mine has his 'f's looking like 't'! This work here that I've marked is not the first as I've had him write like this time and time again in my work and I've even penalised him for such handwriting during his spelling. However, this time round, it was too annoying. His entire worksheet was laced with imperfect 'f's. I decided to print out those tracing worksheets used for young children for him to practice his 'f's. Urrrgh, sometimes, kids.  


That aside, I adopted Wendy's recipe and made it Zebra styled. I just love how beautifully flat the butter cake worked out to be! 


This recipe took me about 1 hour 15 minutes in all to prepare and bake. I'd rate it a difficulty level 3 out of 5.

Life of a Teacher # 1 - Drawer


As you're probably know, I'm teaching in a local primary school. 

Sometimes, there are some things children do that really amuse me. So I'm gonna start a small new section o featuring snippets of my life as a teacher. Some of these stuff may amuse you as much as it amused me! (: 

One who teaches: Teacher
One who draws: Drawer

HAHA!
