What's it called and how to make it?

Hi, What do you call the lacy looking squiggle on cakes. I've heard it's one continuous thread of icing. I'm interested in learning it. Is there a how to page here someplace?
Thanks in advance!

cakeconfections is right...it sounds like cornelli lace. I'v done this a couple times. I used a 3 tip but you can use a smaller size if you want it more delicate. Then you pipe one continous line that never crosses or touches itself...looks like your making loose R's or S'. Here a link to Wilton's directions

There's two different kinds. The one that is easier because it is just squiggly and touches itself is called Sotas

The one that is more detailed, being one continuous line that does not touch itself, does not cross over itself, and does not break is called cornelli
