Use cornice returns (so that rake 'dies' on top of a flat surface) or find a millwork shop that can run 'developed' crown based on the standard profile. Some shops have have knife sets that might come close to your pitch angle.

Instead of trying to have a shop match the profile, why not square the soffit so that it is perpendicular to the roof pitch. Is there a way to post pictures here? Or post email and I will send an image.
