It is saying my code is wrong, however I am not sure where it is pointing, can anyone figure this out?

It is telling me that i need to set my second href to 'pies.html', which i have.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lists and Links</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  <ul>
    <a href="cakes.html"><li>Cakes</li></a>

You have wrapped <li> tags within <a> tags, which is not allowed in HTML. You should put your <a> within the <li> tags, and then it should be fine.
