CALayer creates a transparent round mask

I want to create a mask layer, which is a circle that makes the contents of the circle transparent and keeps everything around. Unfortunately, the following code does the opposite, it draws a circle and makes everything around transparent.

CAShapeLayer * shape = [CAShapeLayer layer];
shape.frame          = CGRectMake((CGSSize().width/2.f)-40.f, -40.f, 80.f, 80.f);

CGPathRef pathRef    =
CGPathCreateWithEllipseInRect(CGRectMakeBoundsWithSize(shape.frame.size), NULL);

shape.path            = pathRef;
shape.fillColor       = [UIColor blueColor].CGColor;

self.layer.mask = shape;

Yes, kCAFillRuleEvenOdd did not do this magic without first adding a rectangle, here is a working snippet:

CAShapeLayer *shape = [CAShapeLayer layer];

shape.frame = self.bounds;

CGMutablePathRef pathRef = CGPathCreateMutable();
CGPathAddRect(pathRef, NULL, self.bounds);
CGPathAddEllipseInRect(pathRef, NULL, self.bounds);

shape.fillRule = kCAFillRuleEvenOdd;
shape.path = pathRef;

self.layer.mask = shape;
