The links to the html files are displaced, the content goes between the <a> tags, the references/URL's go into the opening tag.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lists and Links</title>
  </head>
  <body>

    <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>

Tim has it spot on :-) the href attribute is the URL that the hyperlink points to. You just need to swap these around!
