How to make a border around a letter in UI Button/Text Label?

Question

I've tried and its been 40 mins and I still am unable to put a border around the text that appears , it just remains one solid color, BLUE, and I need a black border around the text.

[bigButtonHere setTitleColor:[UIColor blueColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

[bigButtonHere.titleLabel setShadowOffset:CGSizeMake(1, 2)];

How can I do this?

Additional: I need it on the text in the button, so if the text is yellow it must have a black outline around the letter.

well technically boarder is a word it just means "one who boards" as in boarding a plane or a boat — ASKASK, Apr 13 '14 at 07:24

Only

 bigButtonHere.titleLabel.shadowOffset=CGSizeMake(1, 2);
 bigButtonHere.titleLabel.shadowColor=[UIColor redColor];

Tested!

@Ricky Then show more code, because the code I wrote works for me. Are you using iOS7? I am. – AlieN Apr 13 '14 at 09:27
