AIt's definitely hand piped. I've seen it done.
I have done this a few times, sugar veil ! It works amazing, I drew it out on parchment, flipped the parchment over and piped in sugar veil. I did the fine detail in sugar veil placed it in the cake and then piped over that for the large detail. You just need to draw it out to size for your cake.
Use buttercream but use a small tip, like a #2, and make sure your icing flows very easily. You may have to thin it out. If you add a little corn syrup to your buttercream it will give it some pliability and help it flow out of the small tip better.
oh and obviously a bigger tip for the bigger areas...
Sugar veil is expensive, and can be difficult to work with if your not used to it. Royal icing would be okay but it gets really hard when it dries. I really think buttercream is your best option.
The sugar veil was great to use and not that expensive , I think I used a 1/3 of the bag to do the cake. For me it just made it all easier, I piped the design in the morning (I live in a dry climate) and it was ready to use by the afternoon. I liked it because I felt, for me I had better control,it all comes down to what you feel comfortable with.
AIt might be string work, I can't really tell, but here is a tutorial http://melcakewalk.blogspot.com/2010/05/bridgeless-stringwork-part-3.html?m=1
Sure your example is piped
If you are looking for the easy way out it will cost you ...... (very similar design here) -

The trouble with wanting to purchase all of these 'moulds', 'lace presses' etc is that your designs are limited to the moulds you can buy - AND everybody else has the same
Learn to pipe properly and you can replicate most any design - with the same equipment, no additional expenditure.
