Jason Biggs makes motherhood look like a piece of a cake.

The “American Pie” star is putting Manhattan moms — and his own wife — to shame with his hands-on parenting.

“He’s really a mom … It’s frustrating sometimes because I’m married to somebody who’s a very involved parent,” his wife, actress and author Jenny Mollen, told The Post.

“He goes to the park with snacks and friends and a giant backpack filled with things, and I show up with like a car key and a half-consumed bottle of Pellegrino and like maybe one shoe.”

Jason Biggs and Jenny Mollen are the hosts of TBS’ revival of “Dinner and Movie.” TBS

On Father’s Day, Mollen said it will be easy to pamper her other half.

“Jason loves flowers. He loves pedicures,” she said. “So it’s like, picture what you do for your mom on Mother’s Day and rinse and repeat.”

Biggs, 46, and Mollen, 45 — the hosts of TBS’ revival of “Dinner and Movie,” which premiered this month — live in the West Village with their sons Sid, 10, and Lazlo, 6.

Biggs is one of the class moms in Sid’s class — the only father in the class to take on the role.

“In the whole school, there’s only one other dad this year. Last year, I think I was the only dad,” he said.

“At our class parents meetings the first Tuesday of every month … I was usually the only guy in there [aside from] one of the administrators.”

The actor, who grew up in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ, explained what the job entails.

“The end of the year, we do the gifts for the teachers. We send out the emails after the class parents’ meeting … We also help organize class trips.”

Biggs just chaperoned a trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and said vying for the position can get very competitive.

“Everyone wants to chaperone. I mean, when I was a kid, it was like you had to pay parents off the street,” he quipped. “But now it’s like there’s a whole group of us helicopter parents just knocking at the door, ready to get in.”

Biggs and Mollen said parents at the school are unimpressed by their celebrity status.

“In LA, I feel like celebrity is the currency, but in New York City, it’s like everybody’s doing something crazier than the next person. So even if they were impressed, they would never want you to know it,” said Mollen, a native of Arizona.

Biggs, whose breakout role was playing the lead in the 1999 hit comedy “American Pie,” recalled the first time he brought a VHS copy of the film home to his parents.

“I was actually quite nervous, so I didn’t watch it with them. I was downstairs in their house and they were upstairs watching, and I was kind of listening and I could hear them laughing,” he said.

He was concerned about their reaction to the famous scene where he’s intimate with an apple pie.

“And I was really nervous about the pie scene, but I heard them just laugh out loud and I was very relieved,” he said

Biggs’ dad, Gary, still watches the film whenever it’s on television.

“Honestly, ‘American Pie’ is right up my dad’s alley comedically. You ask him his favorite movies, and it’s ‘Naked Gun,’ It’s ‘Meatballs,’ … raunchy 80s comedies,” he said.

“He was, more than anything, just really impressed and proud that I was in a movie that he really enjoyed. If it’s still on TV today, he’ll stop and watch it. And he loves Eugene.”

Biggs is still close with Eugene Levy — his dad in “American Pie” and its three sequels — and called him “one of the nicest, best guys ever.”

“I got hacked the other day, and an email went out, I guess, inviting people to a luncheon, an Evite from my account. And he was like, ‘Jason, I can’t open the Evite, but it sounds lovely. Where is it?’”
