Just wanted to say thank you for always being authentic and REAL in your videos! We all love you very much, Allison. Never stop being you 💛 YOU are a real, breath of fresh air 🥹 You bring so much joy into so many lives around the world. Who else agrees?

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Thank YOU for being such an angel! 🌸 I hope you are having a beautiful day ✨ Sending you so much love!

[@Liam421Liam]

I agree!

[@selammekonnen4454]

I agree!!! We all love Allison💕💕 been watching her for years now!!

Hi Allison. Hot water brings out the chocolate flavour, making it taste richer. It also helps makes the cake fluffier and less crumbly.

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Oh, AMAZING 🍫 thanks for the info 😋

[@manju.12]

Instead of adding boiling water, try substituting it with hot coffee, elevates the chocolate ever more (and doesn't have a coffee taste)

[@rose281396]

Please make a video on how you made those flowers!! Everything turned out amazing, your friend is truly blessed to have you as a friend.

[@HarryThomasPictures]

Thank you for being such a bright light on social media Allison we love you so much🤩🌸. Your bridal shower is the prettiest I've ever seen and the cakes are spot on🧁✨️!

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Oh, thank you so much, Harry! I hope you have a glorious day! ✨😊

[@GoldenAngel444]

Allison, you should seriously consider creating an inspirational book in the likeness of your home YT content….different sections on simple gardening (photos and beginners’ mindset would inspire many), recipes, crafts, party planning, decorating, holidays, etc… lots of colorful photos….a book ‘Authentically Allison,’ would do well with your growing community 🦋

[@GoldenAngel444]

Btw…I am in my 50’s and thoroughly enjoy your content and creativity

[@NEVERDONE]

Love your party, and the giant paper flowers. I want to know how you made those. Too bad about the glass breaking for your mold idea. I didn't even think of the possibility of it breaking either as you were making it. One thing I've seen people do is to use a milk container as the outside "mold", which can easily break apart at the time of taking the mold apart.. Also, taping the inside vase down so it doesn't float up or get crooked. I haven't done that either, but those may be things to try before having to buy the actual "mold" from Amazon.

[@kiannacolgan1312]

Good morning Allison! I hope you’re having a good week so far 😊 I just wanted to say thank you for all the work you put into your videos. They don’t go unnoticed 🤍 you’re such a light and have such a beautiful soul. Have a great day ✨

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Kianna! Thank you so so much. I hope your week is going beautifully as well! ✨🌸

[@asmaa_vlog_85]

I've been waiting everyday for the video to be uploaded! I'm very happy Take care🌷🐇

[@kristinak7014]

You are the BEST host there is! Thank you for another beautiful video to brighten my day!

[@marialgcs]

The cup of boiling water issss life saving! I never did it before until i saw it on a recipe and i really liked the texture. Btw everything looked lovely

[@lisacarpentersoares]

Hi Allison-I have a question from your last video and I thought you might see it here easier… I have been following your sourdough recipe for at least 6 months, but in the video you mentioned that you were doing your mixing of the dough at night, rather than during the day, and that you like to let it sit in the fridge for a couple of days to get more sourdough taste. Can you elaborate on the details of this a little bit more maybe a timeline would be helpful. Thank you.

[@leevolaski1703]

Hi. Love all your videos. Can you share the template for the tissue paper flowers. Thanks

[@NikkiScatch84]

Your kitchen is lovely! I love the flowers on the island.

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Thank you so much 🌸

[@rhondadixon1782]

You always make your parties so special and fun ,loved all the flowers and the little tea cakes😊❤🎉

[@beckyvandergriff4155]

Such a beautiful video! Thank you so much for sharing with us! May I ask what kind of plant that is in the wicker basket? It’s the largest one when you have all the plants all together right after you planted the ones you bought? Not a new plant, it’s an existing one. Thank you!

[@jennyb3531]

🫶Transformation of your cozy home into a Spring oasis is adorable🌸🦋🌻 Some of the most well known life & entertainment stylists have had major faux pas. Ingenuity is the key to some of the greatest creations. Keep Inspiring Us🕊️☮️

Muito bem minha querida eu não sei o que é isso que você tá fazendo porque eu não sei o inglês nem nada mas deve ser coisas boas coisas bonitas coisas linda deve ser um vinho é um suco se for coisas boas fique com Deus que Deus te ilumine teu caminho vinho é um champanhe é chá minha querida é chá que coisas boas né coisa de delícias

[@Crystal-ie2mb]

You are the ultimate DIY Queen 👸! Love the floral decor you made and the little touches you always do for your little celebrations. Love 💗 your videos!

[@kathleencousins8229]

You are the quintessential hostess! You have such an attention to detail - just awesome! Thanks for sharing💗🌟💕

[@luckaty]

19:06 hot water in the middle container would have melted it a bit so I could slip it out.

[@gamiolyscarrasquillo6558]

Hello, Alison. I love your videos. Where did you get the mirror you have on the potting bench? It's cute! 😊

[@thestripelessbee713]

Boiling water is good for chocolate cakes because the heat brings out the chocolate flavor. So does a little bit of espresso powder 😊 another lovely video! Thank you for always brightening my day with your positive and kind spirit!

[@lindacarter126]

What a beautiful party!!!! How blessed was the bride and your guests to have this hosted by you!

[@barbarawhite7337]

Will you share your pablano recipe? It looked delicious!

[@roxymcdonald6518]

Love all of your videos!! Your content is uplifting and informative. Can you do a small tutorial on how to do the flowers, pretty please? 🌺 🌸

[@aileenbell6750]

Using real flowers for your party is my new favorite thing. What a lovely celebration. Blessings!😊

[@greetingsfrombella]

[@malindashumpert7956]

Good morning, Allison! I hope you had a wonderful week so far and I just wanted to say that you make the best videos ever and they don’t go unnoticed. I love this month's wallpaper, and I was wondering if you can make one for the lock scrern as well?

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

I hope you’re having a wonderful week as well 🦋💕 I’m so glad you enjoy the wallpaper! I probably will just stick to doing the desktop wallpaper :)

[@malindashumpert7956]

@@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF okay. I understand :)

[@tijananastasic]

Hi, Allison, just want to thank you for all your uplifting content 🥰 You are very special soul Would you consider making another quiet time routine video?

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Oh, thank you so much! I’ve done a quiet time routine in the past & it’s pretty much the same 💌

[@tijananastasic]

@@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF Yeees, I know, that was the first video that I've watched (funny, Because I don't go to church at all) and after that I was just glued to your channel. Thank you for been authentic, sincere and just you! Stay that way always 🪷🥰

[@user-kt6ds9sy4q]

I love the paper flowers!

[@hereiam1041]

I recently hosted a bridal shower tea/garden party for my sister. It was amazing. I can tell this is going to be cute 🥰. My sister's wedding is in like 2 weeks ❤️. Now to watch the video. Love you Allison and God Bless!

[@carmendlugo1585]

I love it all❤🎉😊

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

I’m so glad 🌿

[@Oregon-Zan]

Lovely job!!! I just hosted a shower my. New friend here 🎉

[@scrapin4mhe]

Next time with the ice mold pour hot water in the inner vase and that will loosen it so it will pull out. Beautiful shower! 🤩

[@readsandeats2263]

You did such a great job of the shower with all your makes. Am sure your friend had a wondeful day and will always remember it. Your PJs are very cute, where did you get them?

[@vanessabennink327]

I loved your kitchen apron 🌼🌺🏵️🌸🌼

[@lc1880]

Hi Allison, is your water kettle electric? If so, would you mind sharing the brand or where you purchased it? It’s the perfect size. Thanks in advance! 🤍

[@missmitzijane]

jesus..watching this video gives me deja vu. i wanted that same apron from World Market, PJ's and white cuisinart knives..i shop so much at anthro and i see so many things i own LOL 😅

[@eblarios]

Very nice video. Would greatly appreciate a video on how you made this beautiful tissue paper flowers. You make them differently than I've ever seen and I like your flowers.

[@lynnthow1650]

Such the sweetest details! Your celebrations are the most fun!💛

[@razRosalba]

Lovely content.. can u please share how you made the paper flowers. Thank you!!

[@ashleyreaume6486]

the fact that you just WHIPPED those tissue flowers together. so casual. so good!

[@bee3027]

Thank you for sharing Allison. You are so creative & amazing at putting parties together. Where did you get your pink watering kettle?

[@MorganPierce-j2q]

The music you used while assembling the cakes is from The Holiday and I love it!

[@suemiller3474]

I love the flowers you made to decorate your staircase and kitchen. Could you provide a quick video on how to make them? Yours seem so easy compared to "how to make flowers" online videos.

[@avgiam]

I love the colors of this dress on you! You look stunning!!😊🧡

[@myhopefilleddays2923]

Girl!! You are the sweetest most gracious hostess EVER!!! 💗

[@tiah1927]

You could have poured warmer water in the middle vessel to loosen it then put the ice back in the freezer.

[@daur5314]

Lovely video, btw did you know purslane is edible?

[@roopaml]

cou;d you please provide gardening gloves link?

[@jcha012]

Hi Allison, can you do a tutorial for the paper flowers please?

[@athomewithangie_c]

Hi Allison, for my wedding, we used a bundt pan to make an ice ring, and we frozen flowers in it and floated it in a punch bowl. I'm sure you could find a picture on pinterest. Everything looked beautiful for the shower!❤

[@gailrubin9029]

Your videos are incredibleb

I WANT A TEA PARTY WEDDING IS THAT WEIRD??😭

[@RebeccaABeaudoin]

Didn’t do a bridal shower for myself (getting married Saturday) and damn this kinda makes me wish i did lol

[@NaturallyNoni]

Boiling water blooms the cocoa powder to bring out the taste of it more. I personally use coffee instead of just the water and it comes out amazing.

[@jessiecullenracke1314]

Hi Allison! Portulaca flowers close up when they aren’t in the sun. Plant them in the full sun and dead head when the flowers die. They’ll keep coming back. The flowers also close at night. We love them for our front step that gets full sun. They don’t need too much water either. Loved the vlog. Your parties are always so cute with all the diys🙂

[@evamedina9667]

Amazing Allison! I loved it all ! Beautiful as Always 🌸🌺🌷🌻🌼🌹🪻💐♥️💕💜💖💞

So fun! If you fill the center part with hot water it should melt away just enough to let it free☺️
