— -- "Cake Boss" star Buddy Valastro pleaded guilty to operating a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol -- a violation, not a crime -- today.

As a result, his driver's license will be suspended for 90 days and he must pay a fine.

"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, was arrested in New York City on Nov. 13 after failing a field sobriety test. According to the prosecutor, Valastro told police, "I had a couple drinks. You can't arrest me! I'm the Cake Boss!" and insisted several times, "I'm a good guy." Looking back, 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. "I'll never get behind the wheel of a car again, even after one sip. My sincerest apologies to my family, friends and fans."
