“I may never be able to stop thinking about the arrest of the Cake Boss. It’s an intoxicating cocktail: the entitlement of celebrity combined with the hilarity of taking oneself seriously as a self-appointed boss,” writes mekosoff

Months earlier, after graduating college, I had followed the migration pattern of many aspiring 21-year-old journalists who go to an expensive private upstate college: I moved to New York. The Big Apple, baby! However, because I was scared of New York City and also poor, I spent my first summer in the city far from the actual city: I lived with my mom’s extended family in far-flung Rockaway Park, Queens, and commuted in every day on the A train.
I couldn’t stop thinking about a drunk, bleary-eyed Valastro being pulled out of his car, desperate but trying to keep cool and play it off like a joke — telling the police they couldn’t arrest him because, after all, he’s the cake boss, and the police being like, okay whatever please just get in the police car. Ultimately, Valastro pleaded guilty to driving while impaired; he was fined $300, barred from driving in New York for three months, and had to take a drunk-driving class.
Valastro’s DUI arrest had seemingly little immediate impact on the Cake Boss empire. Two months after his arrest, Cake Boss was renewed for two more seasons. More recently, however, the Valastro family seems to have stumbled upon some woes. After rapidly expanding their business to more and more bakeries, the family shuttered two of its New Jersey locations in January, and said in a statement that it would be pivoting to e-commerce.
