My ccs in question are for a zebra themed baby shower. Zebra wrappers and turquoise frosting is the only thing being requested. I feel like the ccs should have something on top, but maybe not. It's my call.
Does anyone know of good resources for ideas for garnishes/toppers, or do I need to just browse the gallery? Do you think unadorned is ok, or are garnishes better?
Are you making the toppers?
You can always do lil zebra print flowers or stars or hearts or any shape. But just small ones that can sit or stick out from the top of the swirl.
You could even do the turquoise swirl with lil zebra print fondant "dots" to make it a polk-a-dot cupcake.
they would have to be small but it would be cute.
How on earth could you make fondant toppers with zebra stripes? Sounds like tweezers would be involved. No thanks. I have to make 50 of these, so it needs to be streamlined and simple.
You could just roll out white fondant, like a big portion, then lay all your stripes and then cut the basic shapes from your now zebra striped fondant...
Also, I don't have experience with it, but Wilton has a new "sugar sheet" and punch system. They have zebra striped "sugar sheets" and all different shaped punches, maybe something simple like that?

Michael's is carrying them now too 
You could also paint black on top white fondant.
If you area doing a swirl of icing, then you really don't 'have' to have a topper, and it would still look good. If you wanted it a little less plain then you could use some white sugar crystals or some black and/or white sprinkles on it.

They didn't take too long. Of course I had my daughter helping me too. But it's really just a series of lines. Once you get going, it goes pretty fast.
