Note
The -ing form of a verb built on the fabric and the paper, never on the pancake. You crepe a surface by covering it in crepe, crinkle paper until it looks like crepe paper, or frizz hair. Every use takes an object (creping the paper, creping her hair). The silent e drops before the suffix, and as a gerund it names the process itself, as in the papermaker's creping that crinkles tissue.
