Try using a curve as a bevel object.
1- Create a curve with the shape you want to use as bevel.
2- Create a different curve as a new object for the shape you want that bevel object to follow
3- With the newly created curve selected, go to the curve menu and select the curve you want to use as bevel object and adjust the bevel depth.

1$\begingroup$ i always struggle to get the curve to have "sharp corner" @ 90 degrees. How Were you able to achieve that at "step 2"? as far as i know the breizer curve can only have smooth angles. $\endgroup$ Dec 9, 2014 at 4:35

$\begingroup$ @NareshVijh You can make a bezier curve be smooth or sharp by changing the handle type. There are four Bezier curve handle types you can use, to select one press V. For 90 degree turns you can use vector. See: wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Modeling/… $\endgroup$– user1853Dec 9, 2014 at 8:03
