What are substitutes for cream of tartar?
I have been informed that baking powder is 1/4 baking soda & 5/8 cream of tartar the rest being made up of various other ingredients. Baking soda by itself is no good as it is alkaline and you need an acid so, depending on the recipe, you could try lemon juice, white vinegar or buttermilk.

Can you make cupcakes with out baking powder baking soda corn starch cream of tartar?
Baking powder is a "leavening agent" that makes cakes rise. Baking soda and cream of tartar together do the same job -- they react to make carbon dioxide gas. If you try to make cupcakes without either baking soda, or the combination of baking soda and cream of tartar, your cupcakes will not rise and you will get something close to cookies. Corn starch is a thickener and acts similarly to flour. If you have flour, corn starch may not be necessary.
What can you use instead of creme of tartar?
I don't think anything replaces cream of tartar, but it will only make a slight difference if you don't use it. If you are making a meringue it may not hold together as well, and if you are making cookies they won't be as crisp. If you are beating eggs whites - you can substitute white vinegar. Use the same ratio as cream of tartar, generally 1/8 teaspoon per egg white. For baking projects, you could use white vinegar or lemon juice, in the ratio of 3 times the amount of cream of tartar called for, to provide the acid for most recipes. This may be problematic, as that amount of liquid could cause cakes to have a coarser grain or may cause shrinking. It is obviously preferable to use cream of tartar, and some might suggest you just skip the replacement also.
