The Virginia Delegate Mark Keam was discussing predatory towing and uttered this malaphor. It is a mash up of “it takes the cake” (extreme example, usually bad) and “over the top” (extremely overdone). A cake topping also comes to mind. Here is the link to the quote: http://www.wjla.com/articles/2015/04/predatory-towing-in-the-dmv-gone-in-60-seconds-113447.html. Thanks Mike for this one!
