taffy challenge

[Narad13]

I have a client that wants me to create some text that looks as if it is made out of taffy, like you might see in a taffy stretcher.
I'm attaching a reference image as well as my best attempt at doing this with geometry. I think that what is lacking with this approach is a sense of weight and some natural stretching and sagging that would occur IRL.
Wondering if this might be a good job for tyFlow and how that might be achieved?

Thanks in advance!
