cherry on top



cherry on top

The flourish that caps something off (much like a cherry tops off an ice cream sundae). Sometimes used in the phrase "pretty please with a cherry on top." Today, I failed a test and lost out on the lead in the school play, but do you know what was the cherry on top? I got a ticket on my way home! Can you help me with this project? Please, pretty please with a cherry on top?
