Is there a way to do this with FormHelper:
<button type="submit" class="btn"><i class="icon-search"></i> Sign in</button>
I tried it using $this->Form->end(); but it doesn't work as I wanted.

Did you read the manual? Seems like this is what you're looking for;
Creating buttons and submit elements
Something like this should probably work;
echo $this->Form->button(
'<i class="icon-search"></i> Sign in',
array('class' => 'btn', 'escape' => false)
);

Don't forget
'escape' => false in the options array, or the <i> will get escaped and passed through to be visible on the final page. You might also want to check out the Twitter Bootstrap Helper. (Full disclosure: the company I work for is responsible for that project.)

@beporter I originally added the escape option, but according to the documentation, for
button(), the default is already 'false' (which is inconsistent with 'input' and the HtmlHelper). I didn't test my example though, documentation may be wrongbeporter
@thaJeztah Ah you are correct it's unnecessary, but it's probably a good habit to advocate. Doing it (perhaps unnecessarily) here will encourage proper usage elsewhere.
Have you tried this?
?>
<button type="submit" class="btn"><i class="icon-search"></i> Sign in</button>
<?php
Remember - CakePHP is there to help make things easier. If you have an already-simple task, there's no reason to complicate it.
