a piece of cake

When you say something is a "piece of cake," it means it is very easy to do.In the 19th and early 20th centuries, African Americans started "cake walks." They walked or danced around a cake in pairs, and the best couple won the cake. This is how the idioms "cake walk" and "piece of cake" came about -- both meaning that something is very easy to do.

This is the signature move of John Mak. Everytime he gives us tons of homework, he says piece of cake to make us feel worse. People who don't know what this means might get confused, for they might think John Mak is giving out cakes.
Example:
Student A: Today no homework?
John Mak: Today's homework is Chapter 1 Q10-30.

Student B, C, D, E, F, G, H: WHAT?!?
John Mak: Piece of cake.
