Iam in the Dessert biz I have a cake order for Sunday the customer ordered a cake with Happy St Paddy's Day on it. Because they ordered it over the phone I didn't want to sound like an idiot and ask for the spelling is it St Paddy's Day or St. Patty's Day. Both come up on google.

Both are acceptable. Wiki likes "Paddy's", and I try to agree with wikipedia whenever possible...even though I would have said "Patty's".
I hope this was helpful.
You got a date Wednesday, baby!

IT WAS NOT.
I would call the customer back and ask for clarification. they'd be a lot happier having to answer a stupid question than having a cake with the words not spelled the way they wanted.

no no no, that makes no sense.
put Happy St Patdy's Day on it. if they complain it's spelled wrong, lick the letters off and put Happy St Padty's Day.

I would jerk off in the cake batter and write "Go fuck yourself" on the top, but that's just me.
Both spellings are acceptable, call the customer back and ask which way they want it spelled.
For fuck's sake.

Some Irish consider "Paddy" to be a slur, so I'd definitely call and ask

Google:

Without the quotation marks St Patty's Day still has over double as many hits.
