Shaping Danish Pastries

Can anyone direct me to a sight that explains and draws out the different shapes of Danish. I can sure make the dough but the finished product does not look to professional.

Thanks Everyone. I look forward to hearing from some of you.

Hi from my experience with danish once you have rolled your pastry out you have several options cut it into 3 inch squares and fold the two  opposite corners into the middle to form a long skinny pastry.  Fold all four corners into the middle to form a pocket.  Or leave as a square and place filling in the middle (usually a piece of fruit apricot half or sliced peach).  Another option is dont cut it up leave as lage rolled out piece like you would for a cinnamon scroll and spread filling over and roll up and cut as a cinnamon scroll  Happy Baking
