Sorry, there is no bug in the task.
You are on the right track, but there are a few things a bit off track with your HTML.
- First, The task never asked you to have Text for the links, so those should be deleted.
- Second, Remember, the only direct child of a list can be a list item (<li>), but right now, you have an anchor element as the direct child and your list element is inside your anchor element. You'll need to flip around your <a> tags and <li> tags.
- Finally, check the order of the links the challenge is asking for. You have "cakes", "candy", "pies", but the instruction specifically ask for "cakes", "pies", "candy". Remember, challenges and the instruction are very specific and the code checker is very picky... any deviation will result in a
Bummer!even if the syntax is correct.
I'm sure you can get it now with these hints.
Keep Coding! :)

<ul>
<li><a href="cakes.html">Cakes</a></li>
<li><a href="pies.html">Pies</a></li>
<li><a href="candy.html">Candy</a></li>
</ul>

It is best practice in the Community to not provide the correct code snippet in a reply. This is actually frowned upon and not supported by Treehouse. Giving hints and explanations (as I have in my reply above) is the accepted way to help in the Community.
Please keep this in mind for future replies.
Thank you for your cooperation and participation! :)
