First of all, you have 3 unordered list elements, but you actually need only one per list. The <ul> element decides the type of list you are using, so you do not add an <ul> element on each list item. Instead you have one and inside it you put all the list items and in each list item you put a link with an <a> element. So it pretty much looks like this: 

  <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>

Hi, just try it with one list, in your example you got 3 <ul> lists with one list item.

<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>
