Anyone know about alcohol in baking and children?

I just made a fruit cake that I soaked the fruit in liquor for. I assume I shouldn't give DD any of the cake?

Or does the alcohol cook out in the baking process?

    I say it cooks out.  Even if it doesn't, it's not enough to harm.  It's almost the holidays.

    My mom puts brandy in her peach cake. She never worried about giving it to us and I haven't worried about DD having it. Like PP said any little bit that is left it not going to hurt anyone.

    I looove baking with alcohol during the holidays (I make a killer eggnog cake baked & then drizzled with rum), but it doesn't actually bake completely out.  A typical cake in the oven for 25 minutes is probably going to lose less than half of it's alcohol content.  Considering most recipes don't use more than 1/4 cup for the entire cake, it's really a pretty insignificant amount you'd consume per serving.

     And now I have cake on my "Must get done this week, or else" radar.  Thanks.  ;-)
