English term or phrase: please, with sugar on top
This expression is big, bad and ugly, so please please please, with sugar on top, first arrange it.

======================

É sobre uma expressão matemática que vai ser resolvida passo a passo (um tutorial sobre resolução de equações).
Na verdade estou com dificuldade de traduzir a frase toda, e não só o "please, with sugar on top".

A ideia eu até captei, o duro está sendo trazer para o português!!

Sugestões são muito bem-vindas.

Thanks!!

Explanation:
Please see the following:

With sugar on top

Do something with really good results / extra good.

The sugar represents the "little extra" on top of something, like coffee for instance. The sugar makes it extra good. You can have the coffee black, but you prefer it with sugar.

You can also say "...cherry on top"
The cherry is on the top of a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream or on top of a muffin. The muffin/the ice cream will be/look/taste extra special/good with a cherry on top, which is where it got it's meaning. So the cherry represents the "little extra" the muffin/ice cream needs.
