Cynthia,
Pipe your details in royal icing, let dry. Then using a fine (small tipped) paint brush paint edible gold powder mixed with vodka over the piped details. be careful of over painting on to the cake, if this happend use a clean brush and a bit more of the vodka to wash away the excess, being careful because to much vodka can make the fondant shinny.
Hope this helps!

You would pipe them directly onto the cake. You could roll or extrude snakes of fondant and place them on the cake before they dry, but the easiest way to accomplish that look is to pipe it onto your fondant or buttercream with royal icing and paint them like Mari said.
