How to conceal baseboards with feet over 8cm?

Hello forum,

we will set our kitchen a little higher than the usual 88 cm plus 2.8 cm countertop. The reason is the tile backsplash. It should be flush with the countertop but starts only at a height of 91.5 cm.

So we would have to adjust the feet to a height of 8.7 cm. So far so good, that is doable. However, the baseboards are only 8 cm high. Can I install them in such a way that the 0.7 cm gap at the top - that is, in the non-visible area - is left?

Or will I then have a gap between the baseboard and the floor?

Thanks for the help!

Yes, of course.
