Programmatic Button Gradient

I'm programatically creating buttons and I'm using an image as a background, I'm no designer and got a bit bored of making a new one for each button, I've not even got to the different sizes yet, so thought why not use a gradient.

ButtonGradient.m

CAGradientLayer* gradientLayer = [[CAGradientLayer alloc] init];
[gradientLayer setBounds:[buttonTest bounds]];
[gradientLayer setPosition:
CGPointMake([buttonTest bounds].size.width/2, [buttonTest bounds].size.height/2)];

[gradientLayer setColors:
[NSArray arrayWithObjects:
  (id)[[UIColor blueColor] CGColor],
  (id)[[UIColor cyanColor] CGColor], nil]];
[[buttonTest layer] insertSublayer:gradientLayer atIndex:0];
