Narrative:
While operating VFR and transitioning the teb airspace; wake turbulence was encountered from an arrival for ewr. While correcting for the turbulence I climbed through my assigned altitude of 1700 ft MSL to 1900 ft MSL thus entering the ny class B by 100 ft vertically. I was on an assigned beacon code from flight following with N90 and was just handed off from teb to cdw tower. Air traffic did not mention the deviation. My priority at the time was correcting for the turbulence and altitude was a secondary consideration at the moment. I immediately corrected down to the assigned altitude of 1700 ft MSL and landed uneventfully at mmu. I did not see any traffic in my area visually or on my tis display. I don't believe there was any loss of separation due to the event.
