Swift: add custom view inside CALayer

I am trying to add a custom view inside a CALayer.

And I want to insert some buttons and shortcuts, but I'm afraid I can't do it. I am doing CALabel like this:

func addRectangleToLayer(x: CGFloat, y: CGFloat, width: CGFloat, height: CGFloat, layer: CALayer, index: UInt32 ) {
    var sublayer = CALayer()
    sublayer.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor().CGColor
    sublayer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, 3);
    sublayer.shadowRadius = 5.0;
    sublayer.shadowColor = UIColor.blackColor().CGColor
    sublayer.shadowOpacity = 0.8;
    sublayer.cornerRadius = 12.0;
    sublayer.frame = CGRectMake(x, y, width, height);
    sublayer.borderColor = UIColor.blackColor().CGColor;
    sublayer.borderWidth = 0.5;

    //An example
    let label = UILabel()
    label.text = "LOREN"
    sublayer.contents = label

    layer.insertSublayer(sublayer, atIndex: index)
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

Can I do what I want?

Thanks a lot and sorry for my english level
