The cake has no fewer than 21 and no more (again, assuming radial symmetry) than 36 candles, so… possibly maybe.  
Although I do think they meant to imply she’s 21 and just neglected to take the far side of the giant cake into account.  
Or possibly just slapped on a nice-looking number of candles and neglected to take into account bronies’ the Internet’s collective autistic OCD obsession over details. :P

Oh, now I get the “now canon arse” in the description…
@Vinyl Fluff
I see 21 candles at the 20:16 mark, though – assuming radial symmetry – there could be up to 15 more on the other side of the cake.
 
Interesting.
 
And I thought the “canon arse” in the description was a joke meaning this was the first full plot-shot we’ve got of Luna in the comic so far, since pretty much all other characters have had their butts on display at least once. I missed the first version of this page.

So… Dash is a middle aged mare now?
 
Those of us who are that age would prefer not to be reminded that society considers it “middle-aged”, heh.

Poor Dashie. Not only did Pinkie forget that the day was supposed to be about, well, Rainbow, but even I forgot that episode has anything to do with Rainbow Dash as well.

Ohhhhh. The Weird Al episode, right? The one where Pinkie kind of ruins Rainbow Dash’s fun by making it all about her?
 
Yeah, with Weird Al and the dueling song and everything, you might forget that the episode was actually about Dash’s birthday.
 
I haven’t confirmed the number, just going on what someone said awhile back.

Yeah, I get the metaphor, but their literal ages, after doing the math, the Mane 6 are in their mid to late 20s.
Basically since the CMC are in their tween/early teens and Applejack herself is confirmed to be slightly more than twice Applebloom’s age, that’s a good approximation.
 
Someone counted the candles visible on Dash’s cake in her birthday episode, and said there were 25. So I’d say that’s a good indication of her age, and the others are similar.

@Solitude  
That’s correct, the other version had her splotches covering a greater range of her butt, I’m not sure of the exact details that led to the merge though, I assume it’s because this version was meant as a fix, rather than an alternative version.

Hmmm, I’m seeing a merged picture yes, but seems that this one was an update, rather than an “alternate” version.  
If you are talking about this picture that is.

I think there was an edit to Luna’s butt splotches. They covered a greater area in the previous one, if I recall correctly.

The metaphor turns Cadance into a metaphorical pedophile…

Could we all please not go for this interpretation? It just seems too God damn tragic, and I respect Ponykind too much to literally infantilize all but 3 of them…
