Norbert's Birthday Flag Cake

Since Norbert was a guestimated 3 months old when we adopted him  12 years in early October we have always figured his birthday fell sometime in early July and we usually celebrate sometime around the fourth of July.  This year I made him a flag cake using the recipe from Smitten Kitchen.  Now this is definitely NOT a traditionally dog friendly recipe, but it certainly has nothing toxic for dogs, and while it has quite a bit of sugar I figured that for an impressive birthday like 12 Norbert deserved at least one decadent slice.
