It looks to me like Cornelli lace... i dont know if i spelled it right, but if you do the pattern tightly enough it can look textured like that... heres a pic for reference... HTH...

If you zoom in on the photo, it actually looks more like a stucco type of finish, except there are no sharp bits sticking out, the points appear to be more rounded. It makes me wonder if its buttercream or royal icing that has been patted with a hand or spatula all the way around, and smoothed somehow slightly afterwards (like with paper towel or printer paper).
It's a lovely cake.

That is not cornelli lace, that is actually texturing, you use Royal Icing, or melted chocolate, and a sponge or clean rag to to that.
Dip your sponge or rag, in whicherer you use, and bloch it to your cake.

Yep, it is texturing. I just watched Bronwen Weber (sp) do it on a Cake Challenge. She made a car look rusted and old with that technique. It is royal icing or buttercream applied with a sponge. Then she dusted it with luster dust for an fantastic look. Super cool!!!!

i've tried googling 'texturing' to no avail. Is there a specific name for this?

I called it a stucco finish when I did my video on that. I thinned my buttercream/royal and sponged it on.
