Foodies: OMG CUPCAKES!! at Sweet Jill's, Seal Beach

To continue our explorations of Seal Beach, Carolen and I saundered around until we encountered a cute little bake shop: Sweet Jill's!
Cupcake shops are hugely popular in Orange County, and I can see why: their shop features rows and rows of eye-poppingly HUGE cupcakes in different varieties, all at a pretty good price ($3.50). Not only that, but they offered freshly baked goodies out of the oven: muffins, croissants, and cinammon rolls. In fact, the latter seems to be a specialty at this shop: they serve piping hot cinammon rolls drenched in syrup.
I decided to try their red velvet cake with fudge frosting. It was as I expected — tasty, sweet, and generous portions. However, I felt like the cake wasn't as moist as I would like. I still would love to try that cinammon bun, though, and the mountains of other things they've got there, and 20 other Yelp! reviewers agree too (Sweet Jill's gets 4 stars on Yelp!):
There's hardly room to sit inside, but there are benches outside so you can wolf down your baked goodies while watching passersby. :) I wouldn't say the baked goods are to die for, but if you've taken the 1, 42, or 42A to Seal Beach, you don't want to miss Sweet Jill's.
