I have a bathroom where I'm going to install ceiling moldings, I was thinking of a smaller cove molding but then I wondered if it's possible to miter it in a room with a sloping ceiling?
At the top, I don't think it's a problem, but what about at the bottom where the wall meets the sloping ceiling (circled)?? I would also like to have some molding at the bottom because there's a gap between the tile and the ceiling that's not very nice. Maybe I could use white silicone there, but I'd rather not.

that was hard you. maybe it can work. you should test with scrap pieces until you get the right cut.
You need to scribe the crown molding. It's a bit difficult to explain, but the one that is in the slanted ceiling (between the ceiling and the knee wall) should be cut "as usual" without mitering. Then the one that is in the slanted ceiling and points down towards the knee wall should be mitered and scribed (carve out the backside) to fit against the one on the knee wall. I was working on the same thing last Christmas and found a good description online: http://hvilaro.blogspot.com/2008/07/gering-taklist.html
there are so many angles to keep an eye on.
for one, no 45-degree angle on the wall and ceiling.
then the roof angle and the moldings.
of course, you can carve them in but just be careful.
think about where the cut ends up. make a small sample piece for the different corners.
and mark them too so you know what is up and down, left and right.

I have a similar dilemma on the upper floor in 2 rooms, don't feel like tackling it yet until the ground floor is finished.. 
But, well, it should be possible to piece together somehow with a LOT of patience and time..
Possibly, I've thought about using trim to avoid the ceiling angles, we'll see how that turns out.
Otherwise, a tip is to take advantage of the rotavdrag (tax deduction for renovations) with a carpenter who can probably fix it for you in at most half a day
