The opening <a> tag isn't complete - you're missing the closing angle backet > before Cakes, Pies, and Candy.

Try this:

  <li><a href="cakes.html">Cakes</a></li>

You forgot to close the opening <a> tags.

 <ul>
    <li><a href="cakes.html">Cakes</a></li>
    <li><a href="pies.html">Pies</a></li>
    <li><a href="candy.html">Candy</a></li>
