Your code works for me but my guess is that the text is being set behind the Rectangle try putting text.toFront(); after you add them to the StackPane

In this example I put the code inside a button action so you can see how it works but you can just call the action

Runnable Example

public class Main extends Application {


    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        Text text = new Text("rand1");

        text.setFill(Color.BLACK);
        text.setFont(Font.font("Calibri", FontWeight.BOLD, FontPosture.REGULAR,12));
        text.setX(30);
        text.setY(30);

        Rectangle rec = new Rectangle(10,10,30,30);
        rec.setFill(Color.RED);
        StackPane stackPane = new StackPane();
        stackPane.getChildren().addAll(text, rec);

        //Call the line below in your code 
        //text.toFront();

        Button button = new Button("text.toFront()");
        button.setOnAction(event -> text.toFront());

        primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(new VBox(stackPane, button)));
        primaryStage.sizeToScene();
        primaryStage.show();

    }
}
