Hello @EmilyZ, Hearty Welcome to the Candy Crush section of our friendly King Community
I am sorry to hear that you are stuck in this hard level # 1128 and NO, the Skip option is not available in this game!! I just went back to this level and checked if I can suggest any tips!!
** The main hard part is to clear the "Icing" and you are correct!! The given 16 moves are almost over by the time we clear half the Icing and reach the Jelly!! So, here are my tips....
1) Concentrate on clearing the Cakes -- at least one of them.... so that the Party Popper will clear most of the left over Icing on the board....
2) While selecting PLAY, select all the 3 Pre-game boosters -- Color Bomb, Striped/Wrapped Candy combo and the Fish.
3) If the Color Bomb is located near by a Striped OR Wrapped candy -- use the Lollipop Hammer or Free Switch to bring those 2 together and make a combo with it ---- This will clear a large part of the icing
4) Make sure to stock up a few of all those required boosters first to beat this level. You will be needing them!

Looking forward to talk to you further. Have a nice day/evening!
