Cherry on the top meaning

All three are used to mean something that makes a good situation better or, sarcastically, make a bad situation worse. "My presentation went well, the boss said he'll promote me by the end of the month, and the cherry on top is I won a new car in a contest!" "I spilled coffee on my shirt, my car wouldn't start, and the icing on the cake was that today, we had our mandatory performance reviews." 1) can I have it a please. With the cherry on top? :) 1) The dress is the icing on the cake because you are so beautiful. So cherry on top of the cake and the icing on the cake. Just mean to top off something. Because the icing and the cherry is a "topping" they top the cake to make it look special. Hope that helps

As far as I know it means a little something extra that makes good thing even better, usually a very pleasant surprise. And I found this on the French thread about this expression #15 2nd June 2010, 03:25 AM Tencon Junior Member Re: cherry on top of the cake Quote: Originally Posted by broglet I'm sure either would be understood in the appropriate context but icing is more usual. I just came across this when looking for something else. I thought it might help to hear what a 60 yr old Englishman remembers? Either 'icing' or 'cherry' is acceptable but generally icing is expected but a cherry on top is to 'gild the lily' or make something even more beautiful. So in general use, 'cherry on top'; is generally used in England. I don't speak French myself but my wife speaks many languages, I will ask her tonight.
