Expression: "... and a cherry on top"
Meaning: When making a sundae you add ice cream, maybe some fruit, maybe some candies, and then probably some whipped cream. The cherry on top represents not only completion, but also that everything wanted is included. The cherry itself is just a little bit extra. Over time, the phrase has evolved to mean not only that everything is included, even when ice cream is not involved, but a little bit extra as well.
Example: "My new car has GPS, satellite radio, heated seats, and a cherry on top."
