The Icing on the cake

Dear NI1 students,

You can watch the video we saw in class again. Did you like it? Do you know a similar story? What does "the icing on the cake" mean?
Have a good day!

PS You can find more videos on: http://vimeo.com/2695298

Hello MªJosé: First of all I would like to say that I really like this video. Thank you for it.
I had been thinking about the meaning of its title. Now I would like to tell you my own point of view, but I´m not sure if it's a good one.
I though the icing could be the last beautiful detail in the cake. The cake is delicious and, with the icing it's also a precious and palatable cake.
In the same way Connie's mother had been a loving mother fighting for her children her hole life.She had also been a great inspiration for her daughter, when Connie was watching her mother went to school with two kids.
So, for me, the icing isn't necessary, but it makes the cake to be a better cake.
