During creaming, small air cells are formed and then incorporated into the mix. This mix becomes larger in volume and softer in consistency. The exact time for proper creaming is controlled by several factors: the temperature of the shortening or fat (21°C is best). Cold shortening (eg butter, margarine etc) is not plastic enough to incorporate quickly and hold air cells. By the same token, fats that are too warm (24°C or more) will not be able to hold as much air, nor give as much volume because they are soft and cannot tolerate the friction of the machine and constant mixing.
Sugar and shortening are creamed at a medium speed until soft and light. High speed mixing tends to destroy or reduce the number of air cells that are formed and incorporated during the early stages of mixing.

It is a byproduct of the winemaking process as the powder forms inside wine barrels during fermentation. It comes from tartaric acid, a naturally occurring substance in grapes and some other tart fruits that in the principle acid in winemaking. It helps to help control the pH of fermenting grape juice (wine) and that also acts as a preservative for the wine.
