How to set UILabel on UICollectionViewCell?

Question

I've done this several dozen times with custom and standard UITableView cells. All my outlets are connected. The UILabel is a subview of my UICollectionViewCell in IB. My UICollectionViewCell object inherits the proper class in identity inspector.

How do I set UILabel on UICollectionViewCell ?

MyCell.m

-(void)setCellName:(NSString *)cellName {
    self.cellLabel.text = cellName;
}

ViewController.m

- (UICollectionViewCell *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView 
                  cellForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    ADMCell *cell = 
     (ADMCell *)[collectionView dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:@"ADMCell" 
                                                          forIndexPath:indexPath];
    [cell setCellName:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d",[indexPath row]]];

    return cell;
}

Output of cell.debugDescription:

2013-05-15 22:05:40.191 ProductName[857:c07] cell.debugDescription: 
   <ADMCell: 0xb35c890; baseClass = UICollectionViewCell; 
   frame = (245 266; 70 80); layer = <CALayer: 0xb35c780>>`

try this it works for me.

cell.h file

     #import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

     @interface CelebretiesCollectionViewCell : UICollectionViewCell
     {
         UIImageView *imgHairPhoto;
     }
     @property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UILabel *titleLabel;
     @property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIImageView *imgHairPhoto;

cell.m file

     @synthesize titleLabel,imgHairPhoto;

     - (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
     {
         self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
         if (self) {

             // Initialization code
             NSArray *arrayOfViews = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"CelebretiesCollectionViewCell" owner:self options:nil];

             if ([arrayOfViews count] < 1) {
                 return nil;
             }

             if (![[arrayOfViews objectAtIndex:0] isKindOfClass:[UICollectionViewCell class]]) {
                 return nil;
             }

             self = [arrayOfViews objectAtIndex:0];

         }
         return self;
     }
     @end

// Take collectionviewCell in xib and make outlet on CollectionViewXib.

       }
