Icing on the cake

When you already have it good and get something on top of what you already have.



Cake makers wouldn’t waste expensive icing on a cake that wasn’t already good. So by putting the icing on the cake they were making a good thing better. Something sweeter on top of something already sweet



Ex: We were already having such a great time but the free drinks were the icing on the cake



Spanish: La guinda del pastel



German: Sahnehäubchen
