Tiger Roll

The first time I made a swiss roll, it cracked and I got screamed at by my secondary school home economics teacher. Haunted by the failure, or maybe I was still afraid of Mrs Yap I never attempt the cake again until last week at baking class where I had to make several swiss rolls including this one. Known as the tiger roll, this cake has tiger stripe like patterns on the skin. Or rather, you get tiger strips when executed well. I thought mine looked more like squiggly worms. Still, I was quite pleased as none of my swiss rolls cracked.
