You need to set the 'href' attribute of the first <a> element to 'cakes.html'.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lists and Links</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  <ul>
    <a>
    <li>Cakes.html</li<a>
      <a>
      <a href="https://teamtreehouse.com">treehouse</a>
      <li><a href="cats.html">cats</a></li>
      <li><a href="dogs.html">dogs</a></li>
 <li> Pies.html</li<a>
        <a href="https://teamtreehouse.com">treehouse</a>

There are three cases in your code where you accidentally forgot to end the list item. 

<li>Cakes.html</li<a>

<li>Pies.html</li<a>

<li>Candy.html</li<a>

Additionally, before your Cakes.html list item, you have an open anchor <a> tag. Make sure you check this.

Hi. Remember, anchor tags are used to define the beginning and end of a hypertext link. Anchor tags are not self closing. There are instances where you placed your anchor tags incorrectly or in inappropriate places. For example, under your opening tag of unlimited list <ul> this is what you have, <a> <li>Cakes.html</li<a> <a>

Your code should look like this;

<ul> <li><a href="cake.html">Cake</a></li> </ul>

Then put all your list items between the unordered list. I think there is also a problem in your closing tags around the list items. You have to close each of the closing tags; <li></li>
