June 21, 2017 Brooklyn, NY, USA When I was in my early twenties, trends came into my life easily. I was all about the latest music, and pretty much attended every worthwhile indie concert that rolled through the Crystal Ballroom between 2007 and 2008. Looking through my college photos and the first few years after graduating, I see myself cycling through some funny clothing trends: hairbands inspired by Gossip Girl; cardigan and Anthropologie dress combos stolen from that 500 Days of Summer movie; unironic American Apparel spandex skater dresses (yikes).

These days, most of the clothes I buy are so timeless and trend-free that they stay in my closet for years and years. And the other day, as I flipped through all my saved/offline Spotify songs during my subway ride, I came to a scary realization — most of them were songs from years ago. And when I say years, I mean years. Think: Garden State soundtrack (cringe). At that moment, I made a "birthday resolution" to myself: it was time to put my ear to the ground and start finding new music. The last few weeks have been filled with me exploring a variety of the latest, hottest music. My subway commutes have been filled with the sounds of Kendrick Lamar, The xx, Father John Misty, and of course, Drake.

Now I'm not THAT lame — this isn't the first time I've heard of Drake. There's #drakeoncake, sure, but I mostly know Drake through his Top 40 singles and radio airtime: "Take Care" with Rihanna from 2012 (wow, has it been that long?), "Hold On, We're Going Home", "Jumpman" (as featured in this Taylor Swift/Apple ad, sigh), and of course, "Hotline Bling". But in Apartment Hummingbird High, however, the song that's been on replay since my Great Drake Exploration of 2017 is "Pop Style" — I love it so much so that I dedicated a recipe to it: The recipe is part of my birthday month series; to celebrate my 30th birthday, I'm spending the month baking recipes with flavors that I associate with birthdays and parties. This particular dessert is all about living my best Drake self: strawberry and pink champagne frosting sandwiched between two deep, dark chocolate cookies from my trusty homemade Oreo recipe. It's not quite a 24 Hour Champagne Diet, but it'll do.
