More than likely the alcohol would be baked right on out of the cake, so yes that is fine.
Also, a little wine is not going to do any damage. Some Dr's even recommend it to help a pregnant mom relax at the end of the day. Don't over indulge, by any means though.

Whoever said anything was possible obviously never tried slamming a revolving door.
I'd probably skip the wine if you could without making people suspicious, but the cake would be totally fine. As lanabear said, the alcohol would be baked out!
Congratulations on your pregnancy! You should be fine with a little wine...my wife had the same issue with my family. She didn't want to give it away yet at a few family gatherings that she was pregnant, so she accepted drinks when offered them, but managed to actually drink very little of it.
You could always tell them you are on a diet (you essentially are, a prenatal diet that is) People on a diet generally don't eat cake OR drink wine so that should not raise suspicion. You could also just accept the items to your plate and push them around into the corners eat the other stuff, avoid the cake... its not like , hopefully , that they will sit there and make sure you eat every bite you are given. I think you can avoid drinking the wine and eating the cake without raising suspicion as long as you don't make a big deal about the fact you are not eating/drinking them.
There are studies like the ones mentioned above that say yes alcohol, no alcohol... but the jury is still out all of that... you want to give your baby the BEST possible chance to be as healthy as possible so I personally think you should just not take any chances... there are things we do before we know we are pregnant, and that can't be avoided... but I think once you know you are with child... you owe it to your baby to give it everything it needs and nothing it doesn't.
Scars remind us of where we've been...they don't have to dictate where we're going.
