Say it ain't so! The Cake Boss, Buddy Valastro, was arrested for drunk driving. Apparently his yellow Corvette was swerving around Manhattan. While being arrested, he told police that, "you can't arrest me, I'm the Cake Boss!" I'd say his ego might have risen over the bowl. I went to see him a few years ago when he was at the Paramount Theatre and when he made his entrance you would have thought that Jesus had arrived due to the way the crowd behaved. I remember thinking, "um..doesn't he just bake cakes on TV?" I guess when you have such a fan base you tend to get puffed up and filled with importance. I certainly don't want to glaze over the fact that Paige and I did stalk the alley behind his bakery in Hoboken and got a glimpse of his brothers in law and got to meet his mama! However, I don't want to sugar coat the situation- he shouldn't have been driving impaired, although I would need more than one piece of rum cake of courage to drive in New York City! Hopefully he ate his piece of Humble Pie and learned his lesson so he won't fritter away his talent on crummy things like this anymore!
