Picture from Sheila Ferguson's book 'Soul Food'.
It was the inspiration for my baking of the blue coconut cake. Solange unfortunately had a severe reaction after eating. It was a spot on her chin that turned to deep red. Like the cherries on her dress. The diagnose was quickly made. 'She is really allergic!' At that time she was already diagnosed with lactose allergies. We were confused by her skin reaction. The only reasonable solution I could think about was: skipping everything from her diet that was in the cake such as egg whites and coconut...
The final shoot, to obtain the image of the variety of her allergies took much more than some small baby steps.
