We study the geometry of cuspidal $S_k$ singularities in $\mathbb R^3$ obtained by folding generically a cuspidal edge. In particular we study the geometry of the cuspidal cross-cap $M$, i.e. the cuspidal $S_0$ singularity. We study geometrical invariants associated to $M$ and show that they determine it up to order 5. We then study the flat geometry (contact with planes) of a generic cuspidal cross-cap by classifying submersions which preserve it and relate the singularities of the resulting height functions with the geometric invariants.
