Rustic Baby Shower Cake

I was asked by my friend Jen (who is also my photographer) to make a cake for a baby shower she was throwing.  Her request was to keep the cake very simple and not too baby-ish...

I had been admiring the rustic style of cake icing for awhile and was looking forward to a chance to try it myself.  I found this pretty version here which worked just perfect with the decor Jen had already selected.  And a major bonus about making cake for Jen are the great pictures she takes of my cakes!

Here's a photo I took showing the texture on top, too!
