That was the original French's. The owner of the one on 17th street "French's Cupcake" parents used to own the one on Baker and sold it years ago.
The new owners opened up the other locations in OC. The one on 17th is the only one that is still French Family owned. 3rd generation and actually a 4th generation and probably soon to be 5th generation to be working there one day.
As Trinity said the original French's Cupcake on 17th Street still uses the original recipes and makes almost all items from scratch "down to boiling the custard fresh every morning". Also the owner was the one to originally develop the famous Wagon Wheel pastry back when he was a baker at his parents shop.
So I guess bottom line if you want the original family recipes that made French's famous "Rated number 1 bakery in Orange County by the OC Register's, Best of OC Edition, 8 consecutive years" go to the one on 17th street.
Ask for Jerry and tell him you are a friend of Greg Block's.
