I can't see the specific challenge, but a few things to note.

List items containing hyperlinks are usually the other way around, for example: <li><a href="cakes.html">Cakes</a></li>

I don't see any anchors, if you add "id" attributes to your list, you can then link to them like so: <li id="cakes"><a href="#cakes">Cakes</a></li>
