And Nelson was the icing on the cake.
However, I have one correction.
The correct term is 'Eat their cake and have it too'.
Anyone can have their cake and then eat it too but to eat it and then have it is the trick.

No, you cannot have two things that are mutually incompatible. You cannot "have" (possess) your cake and eat it later as then you will not have it (possess it) for future use.
Karl used the correct form of the saying/proverb.
