Answer 1

- (UILabel *) setUpGlowLabelWithFrame: (CGRect) frame fontSize: (int)fontSize {
        UILabel* label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
        label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
        label.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:fontSize];
        label.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
        label.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleBottomMargin;
        label.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
        label.layer.shadowColor = [label.textColor CGColor];
        label.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0.0, 0.0);
        label.layer.masksToBounds = NO;

    label.layer.shadowRadius = 0.5f;
    label.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.95;
    label.numberOfLines = 2;
    label.tag = 20;

    return label;
}

I get the glow effect when using this.

Hope it helps.

Happy coding :)
