Num Noms #WackyBakers Challenge

amomentwithfranca · 7 October 2016 · 39 Comments

We were asked to take part in a fun challenge with Num Noms #WackyBakers. At the beginning, I was a bit hesitated as you all know baking is not one of my skills, although if I make an effort I can possibly make something good like the Lemon Drizzle Cake I managed to bake a few weeks ago and it was AMAZING, LOL! So after thinking about it, I decided to say yes as I knew it was going to be a fun challenge to do with my daughters.

Before this campaign, we have never had Num Noms before, so when our Num Noms parcel arrived, I was very curious to find out all about it. I knew that it is a hit with kids as they are the perfect collectable toy and the unique smells each has make this toy fantastic for our kids.

For all of you, that like me didn’t know much about Num Noms, I will start by saying that they are a fun collectable toy that come with different food flavours which you can then stack onto each other. Your children can mix and match the smells to create some delicious matches. The idea is that you mix a Nom and a Num to create your own flavour fusion. There are over 5000 possible combinations! Amazing, right?

Now with the Great British Bake Off going on at the moment, the Num Noms want to join the fun, so they are challenging kids to get in the kitchen to create some delicious treats for their #WackyBakers campaign.

The packet we received was from Series 2 that has recently launched. It was called the ‘Freezie Pops family’. It came with 3 Nums (strawberry pop, tropi-call and grape soda pop) , 1 moving “Ice Berry Go-Go” Nom, a mini dish and an ice cream scoop.

We also received a mystery pack which contained another Nom (a stamp) and one Num. Bella really liked this surprise packet. We were both actually surprised as we didn’t expect to get a stamp inside! It was very cool. The Num has a mint scent.

THE CHALLENGE

We also received 2 chef hats that we put on the participants, LOL! Bella wanted to do this challenge with daddy so we put one hat on Nick and one on Bella. Sienna was also involved but didn’t want to wear a hat!

We let Bella decide what she wanted to prepare so she went with daddy and Sienna to the supermarket and get some fun ingredients. They came back with chocolate chip biscuits, blueberries, chocolate fudge and neopolitan (vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry) ice-cream! This is what happens when you leave the shopping job to a 6 year old!

I asked what she was going to prepare and she said that she was going to make a couple of ice cream and biscuit burgers! I thought that sounded interesting!

THE FINAL RESULT

I’m not sure if this is what we were supposed to be doing as it was a very messy recipe but we actually had fun doing it. Bella was so excited from the moment she knew we were doing this challenge so just looking at her happy face made it worth it! They actually look good and it was tasty as all the ingredients were yummy!

What do you think of this challenge? Did you like the end result? Have you heard of Num Noms before? Is so, what do you think of them? Are your kids fans of them? Leave a comment below as I would love to read what you think. 

*Disclosure: I received this Num Noms bundle in order to do this challenge and write about it. However, all thoughts and opinions are my own. 

Thanks for stopping by,

Love you all ❤️

    I have never heard of these – I am very intrigued! I love Bella’s recipe, it sounds like my perfect dessert and she looks like she is having so much fun making it – she can come and cook for me anytime! I haven’t had Neopolitan ice cream since I was her age, I didn’t even know you could still get it but now I really want it! 🙂 #KCACOLS

    I’ve not heard of them before and I am a little bit confused! Do you eat the Num Noms?? Or are they just scented toys that you put on top of something you have made from real food? It looks like they had a great time though! #kcacols

✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went t ✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went to @javawhiskersuk , a cat cafe located in @westfieldlondon . This was my present for Mother’s Day from her🌸.🌟 Before we went inside, we had to go to a separate room to wash our hands and remove our shoes..🐾 They have 2 different rooms: the Cat Lounge and the Kitten Lounge and you can choose to stay from 55 mins to 1hr 55 mins. The prices vary depending on the room you choose and the length of time..🍰 When we stepped inside the room we were greeted by a group of gorgeous kittens. We ordered (before we went inside the room) a latte and a delicious chocolate muffin with chocolate melted inside that was so good. This was served to us in the room while we were surrounded by these adorable kittens..🐱 We spent 55 mins playing and petting the kittens. They were so cute. We loved interacting with them..🥰 Their cafe is also a foster home for homeless cats so if you are looking to adopt one, this is the place to visit! They have had 230 successful adoptions already! 🙌🏻.🚨 The only downside is that you have to be over 10 years old in order to be allowed inside the rooms 😬.🐈 If you are a cat lover like us, I highly recommend you visit Java Whiskers! It is the perfect place to unwind and relax with these beautiful kittens! 🙌🏻.Have you visited a Cat Cafe before? 🐈‍⬛ .#javawhiskers #catcafe #catcafelondon #londoncafe #westfieldlondon #londondayout #daysout #thingstodoinlondon #newplaces #londonguide #lovecats😻 #catsofinstagram #catloversday #londonthingstodo #whatsonlondon

We spent 55 mins arround gorgeous kittens. I had a great time! I am a cat lover so this was a fab present for me! I will talk more about this experience on another post but if you swipe left you can see a little peak of our time there! 🐈😉.Today, the girls and Nick took me for the actually Mother’s Day celebration 🎉 to @cafejackss in Queen’s Park where we had brunch. It was a yummy treat. Swipe left to check it out! 😋 .After that we went for a walk. There was a small market nearby so it was nice to have a little look around 😍. We then went back home and spent the rest of the day chilling which is something, I’m not going to lie, I love doing! 😉😂.How was your day?#mothersdayuk #mothersdayweekend #mothersday2023 #motherofdaughters #mumoftwo #mumofgirls #mydaughters #lovemydaughters #daughterslove #mummydaughtertime #daughtersarethebest #daughtersrock #spendingtimetogether #happyfamilytime #familytime💕
✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna ✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna at home yesterday and today, and Bella only today. I thought it would be very chaotic but despite it always being louder when the girls are at home, especially my youngest one, lol, we did well..Bella did school work at home today and had the afternoon free. Sienna didn’t do school work. We only asked her to carry on doing Spanish and Maths via Duolingo. She also had Spanish lessons this afternoon (every Thursday she has lessons) so both days were manageable thankfully 😍.How was it for you? Did your kids stay at home or did they go to school? .PS: let’s hope things get better for teachers. I fully support the strikes. .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #londonkids #WembleyPark #wembley #londondesigneroutlet
✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so ✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so far? I am finally feeling more normal after the massive jetlag I had after my trip to South America. I am not sure why it hit me so much this time but it has taken me about two solid weeks to properly be back to my routine without feeling right. Waking up in the mornings was the worst. It was very hard, especially when I had to be on time for the school run! 😩.Anyway, everything feels better now! 😊.How long does it take you to be back to normal after a jetlag? Do you have any tricks or tips to speed this process? .📸 Selfy taken in Barranco, a lively district in Peru considered to be one of the most romantic and bohemian places to visit and being the home and working place of many Peruvian artists, musicians, designers, photographers among others 😎.#thisisme #selfie #instaselfie #smilemore #brunettehair #greeneyes #over40#over40blogger #overforty #overfortystyle #over40andfabulous #over40mom #outandabout #barrancolima
✨The Costa Verde✨.Lima, the capital of Peru ✨The Costa Verde✨.Lima, the capital of Peru is located on the coast. Walking along the sidewalk of the Malécon in Lima’s picturesque seaside district, Miraflores, you can admire the most beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean. .The “Costa Verde” is a coastal road. It runs along the south-central part of the Lima coast. You can visit in the morning for a jog or in the evening to enjoy a relaxing walk. It is a very lively where people have fun in the open air..This is one of the best attractions on the coastal road. You will see several parks with sculptures of famous artists that make this walk even more unique and enjoyable. Along the route, you can find numerous recreational activities such as surfing and paragliding..If you keep walking you will arrive at “Larcomar” which is a shopping centre and has many restaurants and cafes so you can enjoy a coffee or a meal with the gorgeous ocean view too. .Pictures explained below:1. Start of my walk with the view of the ocean showing one the most gorgeous restaurants in Lima “La Rosa Nautica” where you can walk along the pier and then seat down for a meal with a sea view. Very scenic 😍2. 📸 Greater view of the coast showing the Pacific Ocean3. 🎥 Parque Chino (Chinese Park)4. 📸 Parque El Libro (The Book Park) showing a colorful sculpture, “Silencio” created by Peruvian artist José Tola.5. 📸 Parque del Amor (Love Park) showing its larger-than-life sculpture of two lovers in a deep embrace called “The Kiss”. The monument to love was created by Peruvian artist Víctor Delfín. 6. 📸 Faro de Lima (lighthouse)7. 🎥 View of the Pacific Ocean from Barranco area where you can see Lima Marina Club, a members only club. .If you visit Lima, I highly recommend you to have a walk along this gorgeous area.

✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" ✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" is one of my favourite Peruvian desserts. When I was In Peru, I of course, made sure to have it not only once but several times 😉.This dessert is made of manjar blanco (milk, sugar, almond flour, egg yolks, vanilla) and meringue (egg whites, port, cinnamon) 😘.The history behind this dessert starts with Amparo Ayarza who was the creator. Her husband, José Gálvez Barrenechea was a poet and was the one who gave it its name. The poet called it "Suspiro de Limeña", which means, 'Sigh of a Lima lady', because it is soft and sweet like the sigh of a woman. Love this 🥰.Have you ever tried "Suspiro Limeño"? Or have you heard of it before? Would you try it? .📸 Picture taken @panchitasazoncriolla in Lima that has one of the best versions of this dessert 🙌🏻.#suspirolimeño #peruviandessert #meringue #merengue #desserttime #dessertlover #dessertpic #dessertgram #peruvianfood #cocinaperuana #gastronomiaperuana #perufood #peruviancousine #whatisfordessert #dessertsofinstagram
