one word: trifle.
layer cupcake chunks with whipped cream, some berries, shaved chocolate, and voila! dessert!

Make a trifle. Since you have only 6 cupcake, the trifle will be small. In a pretty clear bowl (if you don't have a trifle dish) layer the cupcakes with whipped cream, more almonds, drizzled chocolate & maybe some fresh fruit (raspberries or strawberries sound good to me). Top with more whipped cream & sprinkle cocount on top. Refridgerate for a few hours & then serve.

Check Bakerella's blog about making cake pops- haven't tried them- but you could make them without the sticks and they would be like truffles

I agree with ninakale. Follow Bakerella's idea for cake balls, which uses crumbled cake. Since you only have a handful of cupcakes, you'll want to adjust the recipe accordingly.

Definitely cake pops. Or you could also make rumballs, although they're usually made with brownies I think...

I think they would be a delicious with the coffee fluff - what a trifle that would be.

Or actually more of a parfait.

blend them up in a milkshake!

I automatically though 'cake pops!' as well.

probably not that good of an idea but...

Cut off the top that has the frosting and mix it in with the frosting that goes between layers of a cake and crumble the remainder of the cupcake onto the frosting of the cake.

Here's another not so good idea:
Use the cupcake, sans frosting, to substitute the bread in a bread pudding recipe.

DarkCloudInc, don't sell yourself short - those are both great ideas!

I would think to drizzle them with either some chocolate sauce, chocolate liqueur, or the such, and then use them as a layer in a trifle... maybe with a batch of pudding, or cheesecake filling, add some crunchiness with some crumbled cookies like oreos, top with whipped cream... and...
VOILA!
NO MORE SMASHED CUPCAKES TRIFLE!!!

Since you have chocolate cupcakes- Death By Chocolate.
It's a form of trifle where you start with crumbled brownies or chocolate cake drizzled with liqueur (my favorite is Frangelico), pudding, crumbled candy bars (I usually use Skor or Heath Bar but you can use whatever you like), and whipped cream. I'm not even a big chocolate fan but this is hard to resist!

Send them to ME and i'll take care of the smashed ones.
If interested, i'll give you my addresss.

you can put them in the oven and dry them out and then toss them into the food processor and use to dust the tops of the frosted cupcakes. we do this where i work for our red velvet cupcakes, it looks nice and covers any little inconsistencies in your frosting.

Here's an idea that's whacked out based inspired by Maggie B mentioning Liquer. Tiramisu. Compact the cupcake, sans frosting of course, into the shape of a ladyfinger and then make a Tiramisu out of it or as a ladyfinger substitute. It'll probably make for one that's super rich especially using a red velvet styled cup cake. Coup cake d'état.

Soak in milk and eat for breakfast? yum.

Babka! Or Blackout Cake.

Both need cake crumbs as an essential component of their recipes.

I bet the cupcake crumbles would be excellent as an ice cream topper!

Truffles!!!!!

yep ditto on the cake pops

Make your own Vanilla Bean ice cream and mix the crumbles through during the freezing process - instant cupcakes and cream icea cream!

my first thought was cupcake pops too... i love this idea to make mini cupcakes out of crushed ones-- http://www.marthastewart.com/portal/site/mslo/menuitem.fc77a0dbc44dd1611e3bf410b5900aa0/?vgnextoid=b9dccd66f1b09110VgnVCM1000003d370a0aRCRD&vgnextfmt=default&rsc=ts_Homepage_Homepage

This happened to me all my beautiful (bought) cupcakes got smashed on top. When I got home I just flipped them upside down took the paper off and scooped some ice cream on each one and drizzled choc on top, topped it off with raspberries it turned out great and tasted great more dessert than one would want.

^^ sorbet ^^ not ice cream I used blood orange sorbet on vegan vanilla cupcakes and pure chocolate on top it was sinful. I am now thinking about smashing cupcakes to have this all over agin. I have been without sweets for four months this has me jonesing.

Even I face the same problem while making the chocolate cupcakes. But somehow I manage to prepare them. The bottom line is I love chocolate cupcakes!!

My sister in law makes the most awesome Oreo Cookie Crumb/Cream cheese truffles.
If you just crumble ALL of the cupcake (including the frosting)you could form them into balls and dip them in candy coating!
These are delcioussss.

Good luck!

There are several great recipes using chocolate cake crumbs in Pastries from the La Brea Bakery all based on babka/bobka. There's Chocolate Armadillos, Russian Coffee Cake/Babka, and Bobka Muffins. Each use at least a cup of chocolate cake crumbs.

This Saveur recipe uses 2 cups of sponge cake crumbs but chocolate cake crumbs would be awesome!:

Mold softened ice cream into balls and roll them in the crumbs. Return them to the freezer until solid.

Yummm!
