There are two levels to this question.
If you are using modern whipping cream as a starting point, then the trick for a longer lasting whipped cream is stabilization.
If this is some farm bought milk you are skimming the cream from, then you have the additional problem that your cream is not fatty enough.
Modern creams are concentrated with a centrifuge.
To get good whipped cream, whip it cold until it doubles in volume
and you get firm peaks .
Stabilize the whipped cream by hanging it in a cheese cloth in the refrigerator or by adding gelatin.
To use the gelatin, dissolve 2 teaspoons of unflavored gelatin into 2 tablespoons of cold water.
Work out the lumps.
After the gelatin expands, mix in a quarter cup of cream and heat the mixture to dissolve the gelatin.
Cool over ice and mix a bit.
Complete 2 cups of cream and proceed as you would to finish your whipped cream.

There's a few things that you can add: agar-agar, cornstarch, powdered sugar (which has cornstarch), gelatin (requires blooming in water first), powdered milk, etc.
Search online
and you should find the proper ratios of each one to use
so you don't overdo it.

For stable frosting, I whip heavy cream and cream cheese together (start by whipping the cream cheese, add twice as much cream to it, slowly).
Lasts days in refrigeration.
Slight tangy taste though; whether that's good or bad is up to you...

Real cream with a high fat content + a hardening agent.
You can buy it in any supermarket.
Just mix it with the cream before whipping.

Cakes made of whipped-cream by professionals last for a long time in a consistent, white state. However, from what I know, whipped cream tends to become yellow and return to a more liquid state in a few hours. I prepare whipped cream with just the cream and an electric mixer, so I assume there's some magic ingredient or process to keep the thing stable. Where's the trick ?
How is long-lasting whipped cream made?

Cream can be stabilised by adding ingredients like gelatin, agar-agar, cornstarch, powdered sugar or powdered milk, or by hanging in cheesecloth in the refrigerator. Slowly adding two parts of cream to one part of whipped cream cheese and whipping will provide a stable frosting. Whipped cream needs a stabilizing agent to keep its form for a long time. Try using gelatin, agar agar or adding some cream cheese.
The trick is to use a stabilizing agent like gelatin or agar agar. Try adding some cream cheese to the cream to help it keep its consistency.
