Idiom : Ice on the cake
An example :
Chong Wing Wun from Hong Kong writes : Could you please explain the meaning of put the ice on the cake?
Guessing : Something good happened, and another also good for.
Maening :
The expression is put the icing on the cake, not the ice. Icing is made from powdered sugar and is used to cover and decorate cakes, particularly birthday cakes, Christmas cakes and wedding cakes. The icing on the cake is what makes a good thing even better, although it is not something that is essential : England's third goal in the second round World Cup match against Denmark was the icing on the cake and capped an extremely efficient first-half performance.

Hi Jacky,
Nice try! Remember to include examples from websites that don't 'teach' or 'explain' the idiom (for example, check out news websites, etc.). Remember to explain the meaning in your own words. Also, next time could you post one assignment in just one post (instead of in several posts?)
Thank you! Good luck!

Hi! I'm martin.. "Ice on the cake" is very interesting. I thought this idiom that tha cake had a problem ..... before reading meaning. I never thought that the ice was a kind of food stuff. Funny!! ^_^
I like your second one. But I think maybe in the real life people don't use it. It is just my guess. I am not sure but I really like it >_< Have good day!!!!!!!!!
