Install the GTK-all-in-one bundle available on gtk.org. Installation procedure ins included in the README file contained in the bundle. Then, install MinGW on your Windows platform, and use mingw-get (the package management tool), to install msys (a shell). For a 64-bits build, you may use MinGW-64 (which is a fork of MinGW). You then will have a platform for developing on Windows.
I personally used that platform with CMake to successfully build some code sample. Read my answer on How do I link gtk library more easily with cmake in windows? for a CMake + GTK code sample.

MinGW integrates GCC in Windows. From there, you can build native Windows applications. MSYS gives you an rxvt terminal emulator, which gives you a bash shell, tab completion and all you'd expect on a shell. Once you're working in that shell, it's not really different from working on a shell on Linux, except for the file paths. The goal is to add no mingw-specific dependencies on produced binaries. That's what make it different from things like [Cygwin](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mingw#Comparison_with_Cygwin). – liberforce Feb 15 '13 at 09:31
