Hi, can you tell me why I am getting an error for linking my second list item to "pies.html"?

I thought my href looked good and I can't spot the mistake but I am getting an error.

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>

Try nesting the anchor tags inside the list item tags, like this...

<li><a href="content.html">Content</a></li>
