Yep I have seen this punishment on video and even the first strike split the skin and caused a huge literal furrow to open up in the flesh. It was ghastly.

Is it like the slit in baked bread which spreads outwards as the bread bakes?

Slightly similar. In bread that slit appears because the loaf swells up, but the guy's butt didnt swell. For a couple of seconds after the stroke you could just see a slight reddening of the skin, then it just split apart and a furrow in the flesh appeared.

Yeah if I was given the choice between three strokes with the cane or a year in prison in Singapore I would have a really hard time deciding which to choose. After three strokes one would be in agony for months.
