Former Cake Boss Assistant Bakes Cake to Memorialize Buddy Valastro's DWI Arrest [Video]
While the "Cake Boss" is sitting in jail on drunk driving charges, his former apprentice, Tony "Tone-Tone" Albanese, decided to memorialized the incident with a sweet treat.
Albanese, who also goes by the name "The Pastryarch," baked a chocolate cake that depicts Buddy Valastro behind bars, with the words "Tanked Boss." The Hackensack-based pastry chef also uploaded a YouTube video to share how he made the cake topper.
Albanese said he made the decoration to poke fun at his former boss.
"It's not like he's this reality star where you expect these things. Children look up to him," Albanese said, according to NJ.com. "You do something that stupid, it's not like it should be celebrated."
"As I started getting better, I started realizing that I can do these things that most people can't do and that kind of became my specialty. Because I like doing everything by hand, I don't want to sit there and, they have cutters and they just pop out circles and triangles and they throw them on the cake, and I'm like anyone can do that. I want to do something and take this to another level," Albanese said, reports MY Fox NY.
According to a spokesperson for the New York Police Department, Valastro, the star of TLC's reality series "Cake Boss," was arrested last Thursday in New York City and charged with drunken driving, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
Valastro, the owner of Carlo's Bakery, was reportedly charged after NYPD officers spotted the reality TV star driving erratically on 10th Avenue in lower Manhattan at around 1 a.m. The officers say they also observed the 37-year-old baker swerving through traffic in a yellow 2014 Corvette while traveling north between 20th street and 32nd street.
After they pulled Valastro over, it was apparent that he did not have a good balance, his face was flushed and his eyes were bloodshot, an NYPD spokesperson said. He then failed a Breathalyzer test before he was taken into custody, reports The Associated Press.
The corporate headquarters of Valastro's bakery is located in in Hoboken, New Jersey. He also runs bakeries in other parts of the state, Times Square in New York City and Las Vegas' Venetian Hotel.
