I making these texts pies,candy andcakes to be linking to candy.html and pies.html and candy.html.

i set the 3 texts prefectly to be linking, but its not letting me pass the challenge its telling me to add <ul></ul> code to it and i did but nothing happen. my previous challenge was to set the 3 texts to unordered list and i did it this way and i pass the challenge, i believe the seond code is need to have the <li></li> element i tried to set it before the <a>attribute but i always get error that is you need to set href <a></a> first in your code and idid but did not let me pass, i did it even i know it not right! Bummer: You need to set the 'href' attribute of the first <a> element to 'cakes.html'. help please

<ul> <li>cakes</li> <li>pies</li> <li>candy</li>

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lists and Links</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  <ul>
      <a href="http://cakes.html">cakes</a>
      <a href="http://pies.html">pies</a>

Each of your links should be wrapped in a "li" tag, That way each link would be considered a list item.

<ul>
    <li><a href="http://cakes.html">cakes</a></li>
    <li><a href="http://pies.html">pies</a></li>
    <li><a href="http://candy.html">candy</a></li>
</ul>
