Kitchen Cabinet Crown Molding
 

I am installing crown molding on my kitchen cabinets. The problem is
that there is one cabinet that is 6" higher then the rest but they are
all the same depth of 12". How to I finish the end of the molding
where it meets the taller cabinet. Since they are all the same depth,
I can't just run it into the taller cabinet. If I do a standard 45
deg miter end cap it leaves a space underneath that you can see
through. Any suggestions on how to make the transition from the
shorter cabinets to the taller cabinet would be greatly appreciated.

Do a 90° end cap. A 45° turn is only for bullnosed corners.

My mistake. I meant that I dry fitted a 90 deg end cap but it leaves
a triangular gap towards the bottom of the molding that you can see
through. I cannot overlap the molding onto the taller cabinet becuase
of the cabinet doors. The end of the molding for the lower cabinets
has to stop at the taller cabinet edge. Do you have any other
suggestions?

How about doing a 45 deg return instead of a 90? Experiment with that
and see how it looks. Practice with 2 scrap pieces. You have to cut
each end at 22.5 deg. It might be enough that you don't see the gap at
the bottom.
