We're were at Niku on her birthday one year ( I think if was 2007), and the Nai'a galley had made a beautiful cake complete with tiny Amelia figurine and candle.  At the party that night, we lit the candle and I held up the cake while we all sang Happy Birthday.  Just as we finished, a gust of wind from the island came through the open window and blew out the candle.  It was kind of an "Oh shit" moment.  Mark caught it on video.

Wow, I’d love to see that.
