Designing Kitchens and Bathrooms - Unlevel ceiling, probablly due to bad spackleing

I had a soffit in my kitchen, I removed it before putting my new cabinets in. When I installed the new drywall and spackled I think I made a low spot in the ceiling. I SUCK at spackling haha. So I have some unlevelness in my ceiling (see pic) This is causing one cabinet to be tight against the ceiling and one to have a 1" gap (see pic.)

Both cabinets are level with each other. There will be cabinets continuously between the two cabients so my goal was to make them all level.

So I see two options for myself.

1. sand the heck outta the low spot and then skim coat. It's a joint but i'm going to forgo the tape to keep the height down.

2. angle the cabinets so they line up with the ceiling.

Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

well im going to do a little bit of both. i think it will work out, i'll post pics.

I couldn't get a good look from the pics :wall:
Fixing the drywall is always best but it is often necessary to shim the cabinets so they all line up correctly. A moulding matching the cabinets can be used to hide any resulting gaps.
