How long will my fresh whipped cream keep?

I always make my whipped cream the night before I need it. Mine is already sitting in the refrigerator for tomorrow. It is less to do the next day. I add sugar so don't know if that has anything to do with how long it holds up. I have kept whipped cream in the frig for several days and it always lasts ok.

I know I am probably too late for you; but fresh whipped cream should hold for a coupl of days in the fridge. Sugar does have something to do with it; it give the cream structure, without it the cream would deflate much faster. I would suggest not whipping it too stiff though, you still want it to be creamy and not break apart when you put your spoon through it.
