Changing the color of widget links and hovers

aaagggghhh it’s taken me hours to make the smallest of changes on my wordpress site. I think, most of the major changes have been made on the body and sidebar. However, I wanted to change the colour of all the links in the widget area to medium pink and the hovers to dark pink. This worked but the “Recent Posts” links remains unchanged. Help, I don’t know what to do?

My site is https://www.bakemeahcake.com

.widget-area a:link, .widget-area a:visited {
color: #FF99CC;
}

.widget-area a:active, .widget-area a:hover {
color: #FF3399;
}
