You need to add the remaining closing <li> tags behind the anchor tags tags.

<!DOCTYPE html>

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

    </ul>

Your first list item has overlapping tags. The closing anchor tag ("</a>") should be inside the closing list item tag ("</li>").

And as Evan pointed out, the other items are missing their closing list item tags.
