I don't think cream of tartar will help much in whipped cream. But if you would rather something sweeter and thicker, cream of tar tar would be the thing to use (if making meringue). What I do to make whipped cream, is I use a pint of heavy whipping cream. First I put it in the refrigerator for an hour or two, then when it is cool enough you Will need to mix it fast. Using a electric machine on high is best. Fell free to add sugar to your desired taste. once you think it is finished your whipped cream should be whipped just enough so that you are able to make sturdy peaks when you lift you utensil out of it. It should be light and fluffy to use. Hope this helps!

Cream comes from only one place - cows. It is collected by leaving milk to sit for a little time which allows the lighter fats rise to the surface. This cream can then be skimmed off leaving skim or lower fat milk. Homogenised milk will not separate easily into milk and cream because the fat has been broken into smaller droplets that do not rise to the surface as easily.

If you mean can you make whipped cream at home, yes. Just get cream from the supermarket and whip it with a mixer until it is fluffy and holds it's shape. You can add sugar and vanilla if you like before you start whipping it to sweeten it.
