That's right. This is usually the Spanish expression that is equivalent in meaning and feeling to "the icing on the cake". The satisfactory completion of a task, or a project, or process. - Gekkosan, Jul 30, 2010

El glaseado del pastel is the 'icing' on the cake. I think you are saying 'the cherry on top' slightly different!

If you are talking about the hard icing on a cake it is:

glaseado ( or fondant ) del pastel
