  Summary

  When Tonks tasks Remus with planning Teddy's 5th birthday party, he is determined that he has to bake and decorate the cake himself. Luckily, James knows just the man to help.
  Messes are made, many cake lives are lost, but in his pursuit of the perfect birthday cake, Remus might just discover something much, much sweeter.

  AKA Remus is pathetic and very bad at cake-decorating. And apparently that's exactly what Sirius is looking for in a man. Ft. Teddy being an adorable 4yo (nearly 5!) and James Potter being a meddling menace who just wants everyone to be happy.
