You really can't narrow down an invetor for the spatula. All a spatula is is a flat piece of plastic, wood, or metal that has a handle, and is used to flip food. You have to realize that people have been using a utinsil like this to flip food for hundreds and hundreds of years. In a case like this, it would be like trying to ask who invented the knife.
The word, "spatula," has actually refers to a broad sword that is used for cooking (if you take the literal translation). There are dozens of pieces of artwork from the middle ages where people can be seen using swords and battle knives to assist in cooking. In fact, Caesar had his army learn how to use their weapons not only for war, but for preparing meals. The Spartans did this as well.
