Do you mums keep baking ingredients (like vanilla, baking soda, flour, chocolate chips, etc) on-hand at home all the time? Or do you just buy when needed? I find myself running from one store to another just to get ALL the ingredients I need to bake a simple cheesecake. Any baking stores here that have everything under one roof?

Purchasing depends on your baking frequency. Of course if you end up baking sth new then you'd need to get some new ingredients. Places to purchase: 1. Phoon huat ( they are almost everywhere) 2. Sunlik trading Pte Ltd ( wholesaler) 3. Bake King. A full list here: http://shebakeshecook.blogspot.sg/2012/04/baking-supply-stores-list.html?m=1 Do note that some of the shops sell limited items based on festivals. Like pineapple paste during CNY. U can still find these off peak. But lesser in qnty/ availability.
