icing

Sweet cake layer

Icing is a sweet coating spread on cakes and pastries, typically made from sugar, butter, and flavorings.

In hockey, icing is an infraction where a player shoots the puck across the center line and the opposing goal line without it being touched.

The phrase icing on the cake means a pleasing addition to something already good: The promotion was great, but the corner office was icing on the cake.
