When you're a famous reality baker, you get special treatment from the cops—or at least that's what Buddy Valstro, the "Cake Boss," thought yesterday morning when the NYPD pulled him over for an alleged DWI. Prosecutors say the NJ resident told police officers, "You can't arrest me! I'm the Cake Boss!"

Valastro was driving his discreet yellow Corvette when he was stopped on 10th Avenue near the Hudson Yards at 1 a.m. on Thursday. Apparently he had been weaving, and the Star-Ledger reports, "Police said his face was flushed, and he was unsteady when he got out of his car."

Valastro also allegedly told the police, "Can you just put me in a cab? You don't have to arrest me. I'm not a bad guy. Is there anything we can do?" According to the Post, he blew a 0.108 blood alcohol on the Breathalyzer, above the 0.08 legal limit.

Valastro, who pleaded guilty and is due back in court in January, issued a statement yesterday, "Please know that I want to share and explain to you what happened today and I look forward to doing so at a later date. I appreciate your support and understanding as we handle things privately as a family."
