You can use the 'gdk-pixbuf-csource' program to convert .png files (and
others) into GdkPixdata structures that can sit in header files. Using
them is just a matter of including the header, and using
gdk_pixbuf_from_pixdata()[1] to get a GdkPixbuf.
FWIW, I usually use:
gdk-pixbuf-csource --struct --raw --static --name=whatever_icon \
whatever-icon.png > whatever-icon.h
But you can play around with that to suit your application, of course.
