href needs to be inside your <a> tags and the <li> tags should surround your <a> tags.

You have to make a link out of the list elements, so everything will be inside of a list element tag. Inside will be a link tag, with an href attribute. And the attributes always go inside the tag, not after it.

Solution:

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