What am I doing wrong?

The code looks correct, but I am not sure what is wrong with the code.

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>

The links (anchor elements) should be inside the list items (li). But at the moment the li's are inside the a's.

A good rule to remember: all the direct children of a list (either ul or ol) should be list items (li).
