I'm having trouble figuring out what's wrong with my anchor attribute and href.

Hi, this problem is asking me to link each of the list items to its appropriate html page. The list items are cake, pies, and candy, and their HTML pages are cakes.html, pies.html, and candy.html. The challenge is saying pies.html is not linked correctly, but I can't see what I'm doing wrong. Can anyone help me figure out why it's not working?

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>

The list item elements should be the direct children of the unordered list so the anchor tags should go inside the list items.

<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>
