HTML HTML Basics Getting Started with HTML Lists and Links Challenge

There seems to be a bug with this exercise.My code don't seem to work.Error message second <a>.

just need someone to figure this out for me.

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>

You might have to wrap the anchor tags in "li" tags in order for the list to show up. For example: <li><a>Cakes</a></li> Hope that helps!

Kerri is correct. <li> must always have a parent element of <ul> or <ol> any linking you do should be done within the <li> tags.
