I keep getting an error message that says that I have to set the href of the second <a> element to pies.html

I keep getting an error message that says that I have to set the href of the second <a> element to pies.html but when I check it is correct with the quotation marks and the ending anchor tag. I don't understand why it still comes up as wrong.

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

Look to the order. The good way:

<ul>
  <li><a></a></li>
</ul>

Hope this help.

The task is to make the text inside the list items a link. I believe the error is that you have made the list items themselves links. Try writing the list items like below:

<li><a href="pies.html">Pies</a></li>
