Serviettenapkin Tulip Fold Recipes

TULIP CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Melt the white and pink candy melts separately. Arrange 12 plastic spoons facedown on a cutting board. Put the white candy melts in a resealable plastic bag, snip a corner and pipe short lines on the tip of each spoon.
• Dip the back of the spoons in the pink candy melts to cover; freeze until set, 5 minutes. Carefully pop off the petals and use the spoons to make more. (You'll need 6 to 8 petals per cupcake.)
• Tint the 1/2 cup vanilla frosting yellow with food coloring. Pipe a small amount on each cupcake in the center, then insert the licorice sticks. Arrange the candy petals around the yellow frosting.

SERVIETTE/NAPKIN, TULIP FOLD.

Steps:

• Lay your serviette square out flat before you in a diamond shape.
• Fold the South point of the diamond up to meet the North point of the diamond.
• Place one hand on the North point and the other at the center of the base of the triangle, lift the serviette up so that you create a ridged pleat that stands up between your fingers. Lay the serviette down flat so that you have a triangle with a raised ridge running vertically down the centre.
• Take the East point and bring it up to a point half way towards the North point, this will create a pleat in the right hand side, repeat with the West point.
• Slip the serviette ring onto the base of the serviette where the folds meet and pull about 1/3 of the way up.
• Fan out your tulip so that the central pleat and the sides are symetrical.

SERVIETTE/NAPKIN FOLDING, MARIE'S LILY PAD FLOWER

Steps:

• Lay your serviette square out flat before you in a square shape.
• Take the top right corner and fold the point into the center point of the square. Repeat with the other 3 corners. You should have a diamond shape in front of you.
• Take the East point of this diamond and fold it into the center point, and repeat with the other 3 corners. The serviette will be square again and have gaps in the form of an X.
• Carefully turn the serviette over and fold each of the corners into the center point again.
• Carefully turn it over and you will see 4 loose points on the underside.(this step is only to make the next step clearer).
• Turn back over to the previous side, lay the serviette down and press firmly on the center point where the 4 corners meet. Carefully reach underneath with your other hand and grab one of the loose points on the underside and bring it to the outside of the corner that it belongs to. This creates the outer petal of that quarter of the flower.
• Repeat with the other 3 corners.
• If you are not putting something in the center of this serviette you may need to carefully secure the 4 central points with a pin.

COOKIE TULIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone sheet liner. Grease the outsides of 12 2-inch diameter baking glasses or small bowls.
• Mash the butter and white sugar together in a bowl until smooth, and mix in the flour, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and the egg whites to make a smooth batter. Drop about 2 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, and use a spoon or spatula to spread the dough out into a very thin circle about 7 inches in diameter. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are very lightly browned at the edges and the centers are set, 7 to 9 minutes. Watch them carefully so they don't overbake. Pull the sheet from the oven, and immediately slip a spatula underneath each flat cookie; center and drape them over the greased glasses to harden into small wavy bowls. Allow to cool completely.
• While the cookies cool over their molds, beat the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar in a bowl until smooth; mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Remove green tops and cores from 5 strawberries; place them into a small bowl, and mash to a juicy, slightly lumpy texture; mix the strawberries into the cream cheese mixture. Gently fold the whipped topping into the strawberry cream until thoroughly combined.
• Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the strawberry cream into each cookie bowl, then top with a pretty fresh strawberry with green top. Store leftover cookies in an airtight container, and leftover cream in refrigerator.

SERVIETTE/NAPKIN FOLDING, MARIE'S LILY PAD VARIATION, LOTUS

Steps:

• Lay your serviette square out flat before you in a square shape.
• Take the top right corner and fold the point into the center point of the square. Repeat with the other 3 corners. You should have a diamond shape in front of you.
• Take the East point of this diamond and fold it into the center point, and repeat with the other 3 corners. The serviette will be square again and have gaps in the form of an X.
• Carefully turn the serviette over and fold each of the corners into the centerpoint again.
• Carefully turn it over and you will see 4 loose points on the underside.(this step is only to make the next step clearer).
• Turn back over to the previous side, lay the serviette down and press firmly on the center point where the 4 corners meet. Carefully reach undernieth with your other hand and grab one of the loose points on the underside and bring it to the outside of the corner that it belongs to. This creates the outer petal of that quarter of the flower.
• Repeat with the other 3 corners.
• At this point you have the napkin that I call Marie's Lily Pad Flower. but the Lotus calls for an extra step.
• Reach undernieth again and you will find a second layer of 4 flaps on the bottom, gently pull them out to the front side ( hold the centre points firmly so that everything stays intact) and you will have a fuller looking flower that has additional petals/ leaves at the sides, inbetween the main petals. This addition turns the napkin into a "Lotus".

SERVIETTE/NAPKIN TULIP VERSION2

Steps:

• Lay your serviette square out flat before you.
• Take the bottom left and bottom right corners and fold them up 1/3rd of the way towards the top of the serviette.
• Then fold the top left and top right corners down 1/3rd of the way. You will now have a long thin rectangle that is 1/3rd the width of the serviette sequare.
• Take the right short end of the rectangle and fold it over to the center point of the serviette. Then repeat with the left short side. You will now have a little square with a vertical gap running down the middle.
• Then take the bottom right corner of the square and fold it 3/4 of the way up the center line so that a triangle forms at the bottom. Repreat with the bottom left corner. You should now have a square top and a triangular bottom (pointing downwards) to your shape.
• Carefully turn the serviette over (keeping the bottom of the triangle pointing down).
• Take the top right corner of the serviette and fold it just past the middle top centre line. Bring the left top corner over and tuck it into the right corner that you have just folded.
• Carefully turn the serviette over and you will see the tulip front, there will be a central petal and an outer petal on each side.
• Carefully fan out the outer petals and stand it on a plate.

TULIPES (FREE-FORM DESSERT CUPS)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Put the six tablespoons of butter and the sugar into a mixing bowl, and start beating with a wire whisk or with an electric mixer. Beat until light and creamy.
• Beat in the flour and vanilla.
• Beat the egg whites until they stand in soft peaks. Fold the whites into the creamed mixture.
• Select a baking sheet large enough to fit neatly in the oven. Brush the top surface with butter.
• Using a mixing or other round bowl that is five inches in diameter, invert it onto the baking sheet and trace a circle in the light butter coating. Make as many separately traced circles as possible; the maximum may be two or three to a sheet.
• Spoon one or two tablespoons of the batter into the center of each circle, one at a time. Carefully smooth the batter into one very thin layer, less than an eighth of an inch thick, to cover the circle. Continue filling the circles.
• Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake three to three and one-half minutes, watching carefully that the pastries do not burn. Remove the sheet from the oven and immediately lift up the circles one at a time, carefully shaping them while hot (place the brown bottom side up) in the center of a cup (a regular-shape rounded coffee cup or Chinese soup or rice bowl is suitable). When pushed into the center, the edges should be neatly fluted or ruffled. Let cool and remove from the mold.

STEP BY STEP SERVIETTE /NAPKIN FOLDING , EASY!

Steps:

• Lay your serviette square out flat before you. Fold it in half horizontally.
• Take the serviette and fold it in half again vertically so that it is now a small square a quarter the size of the origonal square.
• Only one corner of the square will have 4 open / loose edges, rotate your square so that it is a flat diamond shape with the open corner pointing downwards. We will call this the "South" corner, and the top corner opposite "North" and the other two remaining corners East and West.
• Fold the South corner up, so that it meeting and laying on top of the North corner. Your serviette is now in the form of a triangle.
• Gently crease the bottom ( east /west line) of the triangle well.
• The South corner consists of 4 seperate flaps, take only the outer-most of these and fold it back south again, expect that the crease line should be about 1/2 inch (1 cm) HIGHER ( but still parallel to) the bottom ( east/west) straight edge of the triangle. This leaves a thick triangle on the top and a very thin, one paper layer, smaller triangle on the bottom.
• Take the next layer of the loose flap at North, and fold it south, with it's crease line about 1/2 inch (1 cm) ABOVE the crease line from the first folded down flap. Now you will have a smaller triangle folded down in the South position on top of the first one.
• Repeat Step 7 until all four flaps are folded down, pointing South in triangles on top of each other, the one on the bottom will be the biggest and the one on the top will be the smallest.
• Carefully pick up the serviette and bring the East and West corners together at the back, then carefully crease firmly the fold that runs from the center of the top main triangle to the point at North.
• Turn the serviette around and set the finished serviette onto the table with the North point closest to you on the table, with East and West points on the table furthest away from you and the South points pointing up into the air up the center.
• Works best wih heavier paper serviettes.

SERVIETTE/NAPKIN FOLDING, SIMPLE FAN VARIATION

Steps:

• Lay your serviette square out flat before you.
• Take the bottom right and left corners and make an accordion fold strips all the way up to the top right and left corners. If you press these with an iron the pleats will be nice and sharp. Leave unironed for a wavy casual look. (but ironed looks neater) You will now have a thin band the width of your accordion fold.
• Fold the serviette in half so that is is now half it's length and slip a serviette ring over the fold end of the accordion strip and pull gently about 1 inch ( 2.5 cm) up.
• Fan out the accordion pleats at the top to make a pleasing balance to the serviette. Present on a plate.

SERVIETTE/NAPKIN FOLDING, ANOTHER POCKET FOLD

Steps:

• Lay your serviette square out flat before you in a square shape.
• Take the bottom two corners and fold them 1/3 of the way up the serviette.The fold line should be at the bottom.
• Take the top two corners and fold them 1/3 down so that the top two corners are level with the fold line that you made in the previous step.You now have a rectangle in front of you.
• Place your finger in the centre top point of the rectangle and with the other hand take the top right hand corner of the rectangle and fold it to the center bottom of the rectangle, but continue past the bottom of the rectangle so that you have a vertical straight line running down the center and a small flap sticking out that the bottom. Repeat with the left side of the serviette.
• Then fold the bottom two flaps back on top of themselves so that they are level with the bottom of the rest of the serviette. You will have before you a thin rectangle shape on the bottom and a triangle on top of it and there will be a vertical gap in the center of both of them.
• Take the right hand end of the rectangle and fold it into the center, repeat with the left hand side of the rectangle but insert it into the opposite piece.
• This should form a small square pocket that has a triangular top.
