But in the next shot, as she proudly smiles basking in the warm glow of her successful feat, her finger is off the lid. (00:07:00)

Suggested correction: The candles on the cake never light and relight. They are always lit from the point when Anna Kendrick (Nina) lights them. In one shot they look unlit due to the pillow behind them but if you look closely they are always lit.
