The body text doesn't change color, what's wrong?

I had the codes exactly as it shows on video, however the body text is still black. I'm trying to follow the project and I'm on "introduction to CSS". Please can anyone help?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head> 
<title> Smells Like Bakin </title>
<style>
 body { 
    background-color: #420600;
   }
 h1 {
    color: #FAF3BC;
 }
 p {
    color: #FAF3BC;
   }
</style>
</head>

<body>
    <h1>Smells Like Bakin</h1>

</body>

You gotta wrap your text in p tags like this:

<p>We combine unexpected flavors that melt together to create ironically delicious desserts.</p>

The styling is right, but it's got nothing to apply it to! :)
