'Cake Boss' Buddy Valastro Admits To Driving While Impaired

"Cake Boss" star Buddy Valastro pleaded guilty to driving a car while impaired by alcohol consumption - a violation, not a crime - on Monday, ABC News reported.

Due to his charges, he isn't allowed to drive for three months and must pay a roughly $300 fine.

The celebrity baker has been vocal about the incident on Twitter and said he wanted to apologize to everyone for his behavior.

"I want to thank everyone for their support. I also want to apologize to everyone," Valastro tweeted. "I pled [sic] guilty today because I wanted to make this right. I learned an important lesson that if you have even one drink you shouldn't drive."

Valastro, 37, failed a field sobriety test in New York City and was arrested on Nov. 13. According to the prosecutor, he told police, "I had a couple drinks. You can't arrest me! I'm the Cake Boss!" and insisted more than once, "I'm a good guy."

Tests determined that Valastro's blood alcohol level was .09, with the federal driving limit being .08, NJ.com reported. He was driving a yellow 2014 Corvette at the time of his arrest.

In retrospect, Valastro said he's "very disappointed" in himself.

"I thought I was fine to drive, but I wasn't. I put people in danger," he wrote on his social media page. "I'll never get behind the wheel of a car again, even after one sip. My sincerest apologies to my family, friends and fans."
