Our Kentucky Woods® cake uses vanilla extract, sugar and bourbon. After baking, the alcohol from sugar alcohol's, vanilla extract and bourbon is less than 1/2 of 1% (.05% by volume) thus our cake is non-alcoholic. The bourbon is used as an extract for flavoring, for its unique oaky flavor and essence. The Kentucky Woods® cake is safe for all ages and is no different than enjoying a cake baked with a vanilla extract only.

Facts:

Alcohol bakes out in the baking process.

The flavor is retained but not the alcohol.

According to the FDA guidelines, the Kentucky Woods® cake is considered non-alcoholic and can be labeled as well advertised as so.

We do test for alcohol using an independent 3rd party laboratory.

Most Vanilla extract contains 40% alcohol (80 proof).

Sugar when used in baking or foods can create sugar alcohols.

In 2012 it was scientifically reported Coca-Cola could contain alcohol; Here was their reply: "Trace levels of alcohol can occur naturally in many foods and beverages. Governments and religious organizations have recognized that such minute levels are considered acceptable in nonalcoholic foods and beverages."

You would have to eat 48 large slices of Kentucky Woods® cake to equal 1 ounce of alcohol and of that the majority of the alcohol would be sugar alcohol, not ethyl.
