Default Major kitchen cabinet install gap problem? (w/pics)

I now have the dilemma of how to fix this random gap between the tops of my
cabinets and the ceiling. In some places the cabinets touch the ceiling and
in other places there is a 3/4" gap. The face frame exposure above the doors
is about 7/8".


My suggestion would be to use a piece of molding (maybe base turned
upside down) or something from stock that you make to your own design.
Rip it to the width of your largest gap plus enough more to nail to
the cabinets. Scribe as you go maintaining the same reveal between
your molding and the cabinet doors. Paint and most people will never
notice.
I would not use one application on top of another to remedy this
problem. While that solution might look better on a fairly straight
soffit, more layers will accent your problem as the lines will move
closer to the soffit.
