Trouble with creating links for list items.

I'm supposed to create links for list items and when I preview my code it shows up correctly as a link but when I submit my code I am told (and I quote) "You need to set the 'href' attribute of the second <a> element to 'pies.html'." I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Here is my code:

<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>

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>

Your <a> tags need to be nested inside the <li> tags. For example:

<li><a href="cakes.html"></a>Cakes</li>
