"Making a sincere wish, Amanda blew out the candles on her cake."
Explanation: The participial phrase "Making a sincere wish" correctly modifies the subject "Amanda." The other sentences have misplaced or dangling modifiers (1 implies the river belonged to the grandfather instead of the bobber, 2 makes "I" the one sleeping, 3 makes the dummy subject "it" the thing gaining speed).
