There is a place here (Columbus Ohio) called Mozart's that makes lovely pastries, but also makes cake with real butter frosting.  I'm not a cake person, and usually hate frosting, but I really liked theirs.  I never actually paid for one, they used to have them at work now and then, but I'm sure they weren't cheap. (btw if you go look at the pictures, all the little "black and white" flowers are really dark and white chocolate.
