You have placed the li tags inside the a tag, it should be the other way around. The a tags should be placed inside the li tags. Like this:

<!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>

  </body>
</html>

Otherwise the li tags themselves would become links, which is not what the challenge asked for.
