He just wanted a decent biscuit. But after a cooking class sparked a deep love of baking, the path forward became deliciously clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today David and his partner run <a href=\"https:\/\/outsidertart.com\/\">Outsider Tart<\/a>, a beloved bakery in London&rsquo;s artsy Hammersmith neighborhood known for unapologetically American treats and a cheeky personality. What started out as a passion project has evolved into a brand with a fiercely loyal following and a mission rooted in generosity, joy, and seriously good sweet treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-taste-of-home\">A taste of home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The inspiration for Outsider Tart was born out of scarcity. The American comfort foods David&nbsp;craved simply didn&rsquo;t exist in London.<strong> <\/strong>&ldquo;I missed a good pancake. I missed biscuits,&rdquo; David&nbsp;recalls. &ldquo;There were no American baked goods available at the time, except at hotels.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the time, David was running a different business &mdash; one that was financially successful but&nbsp;creatively draining. &ldquo;It was very lucrative, but I didn&rsquo;t enjoy it,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;I worked constantly. I&nbsp;needed a hobby.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That hobby turned out to be baking. A weekend class at the Institute of Culinary Education in&nbsp;New York had ignited something unexpected. As David honed his skills in the kitchen, he and&nbsp;his partner, an architect, began dreaming of opening a bakery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Originally, they pictured it in New York. But life had other plans. &ldquo;We were only supposed to be&nbsp;here a couple of years,&rdquo; David says of their move to London. &ldquo;That turned into decades.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-outsider-tarts\">Outsider tarts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The opportunity to bring American-style baked goods to a new audience was too good to pass&nbsp;up. They opened their first bakeshop in Chiswick, serving up American-style pies, brownies, and biscuits to curious locals. An early writeup in the <em>Observer Food Monthly<\/em> referred to them as &ldquo;a couple of tarts&rdquo; who were outsiders. The phrase stuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outsider Tart soon became a neighborhood staple for cheeky treats like the <a href=\"https:\/\/outsidertart.com\/shop\/cookies\/xxx-rated-chocolate-chip-cookies\/\">&ldquo;XXX Rated&rdquo; cookie<\/a> loaded with chocolate chips, marshmallows, pecans, and walnuts, and tasty riffs on classic American flavors like an indulgent S&rsquo;mores layer cake. It later expanded into a larger space in Hammersmith where it continues to thrive today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&ldquo;If I love it, it&rsquo;s not work &mdash; it&rsquo;s pleasure,&rdquo; says David. &ldquo;You really have to love what you do, and then everything else comes easy.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">David&rsquo;s love for the business has translated into a space filled with warmth and a strong sense of community. &ldquo;We think of this as our living room, and we&rsquo;re inviting everyone in to have a good time,&rdquo; David says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"400\" width=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Cafe-1.webp?w=600\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-167193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Cafe-1.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Cafe-1.webp?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Cafe-1.webp?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Cafe-1.webp?resize=600,400 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Outsider Tart at the Kiln Theater in London.

For David, the steepest learning curve wasn&rsquo;t in the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&ldquo;In the beginning, the hardest thing that nobody tells you about was preparing for customers,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;Customers are not only your source of income. They&rsquo;re your hardest aspect, day in and day out, to deal with. How much to make? How little? How much waste will there be?&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finding that balance became even more crucial as Outsider Tart grew. The brand quickly built a loyal following &mdash; not just among fellow American expats, but enthusiastic food lovers from all over the city. Keeping up with demand while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/messaging-and-value-with-schitts-creek\/\">staying true to the brand&rsquo;s voice<\/a> and values was a constant challenge, especially for a lean team with no formal marketing background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-navigating-the-pandemic\">Navigating the pandemic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then came the pandemic. At the time, Outsider Tart was in the process of expanding into a second location at a beloved neighborhood theater. Both locations were left without income practically overnight as lockdowns kept regulars at home. &ldquo;The pandemic was easily our greatest challenge,&rdquo; David says. &ldquo;And our greatest success was surviving it.&rdquo;<br><br>Amid the unprecedented hurdles that the pandemic brought, David saw an opportunity to double down &mdash; not just on the bakery itself, but on how they engaged with their community. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve always been 100% behind supporting small businesses,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;During the pandemic, I would travel around to all the independent businesses that were still open and still trying to figure out a way to bring in some cash through the door and use my email and social media platforms to focus on them. Like, when you have your 15-minute walk, why don&rsquo;t you try these places out as well?&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the business bounced back, David recognized a growing need to reach customers more consistently and build stronger relationships through digital channels &mdash; without sacrificing the time he needed to bake.<br><br>That&rsquo;s where Constant Contact came in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&ldquo;You&nbsp;don&rsquo;t want to bore people with messages that don&rsquo;t interest them, but you also don&rsquo;t want to&nbsp;drop off anyone&rsquo;s radar by not keeping them updated. Segmentation really helps us strike that balance.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-thanksgiving-hit\">A Thanksgiving hit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For hands-on small business owners, marketing can&rsquo;t be another full-time job. That&rsquo;s why Constant Contact became a vital ingredient in Outsider Tart&rsquo;s success, especially when it came to one of their most beloved (and busiest) traditions: Thanksgiving.<br><br>As American expats, David and his partner wanted to bring one of their favorite holidays with them and share it with their new community in London. What began as a small dinner around a single table quickly became a sought-after annual event and a huge operational lift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&ldquo;When we first started using Constant Contact in 2007, we had a goal of maxing out our available seats for Thanksgiving evening,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;We nailed it.&rdquo;<br><br>As word spread and demand grew, David leaned into Constant Contact&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/features\/event-management\">event management tool<\/a> to keep Thanksgiving at Outsider Tart running smoothly. The tool allows him to build landing pages to promote the event, share it on social media and via email, sell tickets online, and manage the attendee list. &ldquo;For the next 14 years, we only had to send one email to sell out 80% of the seats within the first few hours,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;These days, we exclusively promote the event using Constant Contact, and we sell out completely before the first reminder email is even scheduled.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"600\" width=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/465782111_9020004721384667_9171045631657879103_n.jpg?w=400\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-167194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/465782111_9020004721384667_9171045631657879103_n.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/465782111_9020004721384667_9171045631657879103_n.jpg?resize=200,300 200w, https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/465782111_9020004721384667_9171045631657879103_n.jpg?resize=768,1151 768w, https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/465782111_9020004721384667_9171045631657879103_n.jpg?resize=400,600 400w, https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/465782111_9020004721384667_9171045631657879103_n.jpg?resize=1025,1536 1025w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Outsider Tart&rsquo;s Thanksgiving spread.

The <a href=\"https:\/\/knowledgebase.constantcontact.com\/email-digital-marketing\/articles\/KnowledgeBase\/47342-Save-your-brand-colors-logo-and-images-in-your-account?lang=en_US\">brand kit feature<\/a> was easy and saved a lot of time. It makes it easy for new staff to create communications without having to&nbsp;worry about a consistent look.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-segmented-for-success\">Segmented for success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another key tool for Outsider Tart has been the ability to create <a href=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/best-practices-for-email-list-segmentation\/\">segmented email lists<\/a> that evolve along with its customer base. &ldquo;Our list has grown up with us &mdash; from dating to coupled, from singles to families,&rdquo; David says. &ldquo;You&nbsp;don&rsquo;t want to bore people with messages that don&rsquo;t interest them, but you also don&rsquo;t want to&nbsp;drop off anyone&rsquo;s radar by not keeping them updated. Segmentation really helps us strike that balance.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the proof is in the pudding, so to speak: In the last year, Outsider Tart has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/grow-email-list\/\">grown their email list<\/a> by nearly 4%, utilizing tools like signup forms and landing pages to expand their audience. Their open rate is a sweet 53% &mdash; 18% higher than the industry average &mdash; while they&rsquo;re seeing a 5% click-through rate (4% above industry average).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the right tools in place and a loyal community behind them, David and his team have built&nbsp;something that goes beyond biscuits and brownies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-outsiders-no-more\">Outsiders no more<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After more than two decades, Outsider Tart has become more than a bakery. It&rsquo;s a cornerstone of the Hammersmith community and a brand that reflects the passion and personality of its founders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&ldquo;The brand is the third person in the room now. Instead of two partners, it&rsquo;s three,&rdquo; David says. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s like a child, and we&rsquo;re really giving it room and seeing what it needs to grow.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"600\" width=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/462209759_8816645868387221_1072042146816927917_n.jpg?w=400\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-167195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/462209759_8816645868387221_1072042146816927917_n.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/462209759_8816645868387221_1072042146816927917_n.jpg?resize=200,300 200w, https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/462209759_8816645868387221_1072042146816927917_n.jpg?resize=768,1152 768w, https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/462209759_8816645868387221_1072042146816927917_n.jpg?resize=400,600 400w, https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/462209759_8816645868387221_1072042146816927917_n.jpg?resize=1024,1536 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sweet treats for eating on the spot or takeaway.
