The cream of tartar acts as a natural preservative, keeping your creation soft and pliable for weeks. What really gets me is how affordable this is to make compared to store bought versions, and you probably have most ingredients sitting in your pantry right now. Plus, you control exactly what goes into it, so there are no mystery chemicals. Let me share my foolproof method that works every single time.
